Messina is running a three-day offering featuring Get Baked’s “Bertha” cake, described across reports as a 24-layer cake and presented as an attraction for customers during the limited-time period. The cake event is listed as part of Messina’s broader programming.
In addition to the cake, multiple outlets report that a Michelin-starred Vietnamese restaurant is taking up residence at Aru. The reports also say an Anthony Bourdain-inspired food tour is arriving at Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market. Together, the items outline a short-term schedule of food experiences spanning a specialty dessert promotion at Messina, a Vietnamese pop-up at Aru, and a guided food-tour concept at the market.
While coverage focuses on different aspects of the overall lineup, all sources align on the same key elements: the limited-time Bertha cake promotion at Messina, the Michelin-starred Vietnamese restaurant residency at Aru, and the Bourdain-inspired tour at the Queen Victoria Market. The reports do not indicate that the events are permanent.
