Cocoa Cloud is a cake shop in Birkenhead that makes chocolate cakes from Belgian chocolate, with 30% less sugar than traditional recipes. Its signature is the Cloud Chocolate Cake, which the website says won a gold award, and it also makes a Black Forest cake. The menu includes a sugar-free and dairy-free keto cake, vegan cakes, and gluten-free and eggless options. The shop bakes for birthdays, weddings and other celebrations, and the website says it delivers within Auckland, with fees that may apply. Orders should be placed at least 24 hours ahead, and orders before 3pm may be ready for next-day pickup. Custom cakes need about a week's notice. The address is 2/64 Mokoia Road.
Customers mostly talk about the chocolate cake itself, and the dark chocolate and vegan cakes come up often too. One said the cake was rich without being cloying, with three layers of chocolate, sponge and mousse, and that they could eat it despite being dairy free. Another, who does not usually like white chocolate, still enjoyed a white chocolate slice that was brought home by mistake, finding it well balanced rather than too sweet. Nothing in the reviews suggests a price or value concern. The lower sugar is the main point for anyone who finds traditional chocolate cake too sweet, and the shop is built around that.
