Where to get a good birthday cake?

It's my birthday. Life isn't where I want it to be this year. I'm going to buy myself a nice cake.

Are there good cake bakeries around? I'd like to get something nice, not just the Woolworths special.

Edit: thank you all! I got a red velvet cake from Flour & Chocolate, and I think I'll try these other suggestions at some point too!

The trains are full.

A 6 car train arrived at my station. Around half the people on the platform squeezed on. Elbows were sticking out of the doors at they closed.

Over the intercom we were told the next train was also at capacity.

I'm calling it now: this is the end of 50c fares. The LNP will let this run long enough until people start get really worked up about it, and then tearfully admit that they'd love to keep supporting the people of Queensland, but those nasty commies in Labor have left them with a shit storm and the only way to fix it is to remove the 50c fares. And maybe just privatise the trains.

I feel like years ago they were cheaper, but I'm not sure if that's still true. I've only been a few times in the past decade, but it hasn't felt any different to normal shops.

What's the vibe these days? Actually cheaper stuff that's maybe just last season or whatever, or only cashing in on a reputation?
