Sweet scoop, Sydneysiders! Cult-favourite dessert maker Clifford Luu, the mastermind behind Maker’s Day, is serving up his sugary sensations in Bankstown Sports Club every weekend this July.
If you’ve ever braved the queues for Clifford’s viral tiramisu, or scrolled past his gravity-defying desserts on Instagram with dessert envy, this is your chance to finally have your cake and eat it too…without crossing the city.
The exclusive pop-up promises a sugar rush of nostalgic flavours, modern spins and one seriously baked-to-impress lineup of sweets that’ll have you coming back for seconds (and thirds…we won’t judge).
The Viral Treats That Took Over Sydney (and Our TikTok Feeds)
Clifford’s creations are more than just picture-perfect-they’re the stuff of childhood dreams, reimagined with a Pastry Chef’s precision. His viral Asian-inspired tiramisu has become a cult favourite among Sydney’s sweet tooth set, blending creamy mascarpone, soft sponge and just the right hit of tea-infused flair. It’s light, it’s luscious and it’s likely to ruin you for any other tiramisu forever - sorry, Nonna.
If your tastebuds tend more Americana than Italiano, then prepare to fall head over heels for the matcha Brookie with banana pudding - a chewy, gooey matcha brownie-cookie hybrid layered with banana pudding that’s pure nostalgia in a spoonful. Inspired by NYC’s iconic Magnolia Bakery, it’s the kind of dessert that hits you right in the childhood.
Pop-up Plans That Make Weekends Even Sweeter
The best bit is that these desserts aren’t just for drooling over online anymore. You can get a slice of the action every weekend in July at Bankstown Sports Club, where Clifford is popping up with his full-flavoured favourites for both dine-in and takeaway.
So, whether you're stopping by for a post-dinner delight or planning a dessert-first date night, there's something for every kind of sweet tooth.
Final Bite
In a city obsessed with finding the next big dessert trend, Maker’s Day delivers something refreshingly familiar…with a twist. It’s comfort food, turned couture. It’s your Mum’s pudding, but on TikTok and most importantly, it’s absolutely delicious.
So, clear your calendar, prep your palate and grab a fork - because weekends in Bankstown just got a whole lot sweeter.
