Who Are We
Indulge us a moment. Then let us indulge you.
Priestley’s was born in 1996 after a family in Queensland saw that hospitality venues across Australia were craving quality, crafted desserts. So, they came together with a simple but ambitious vision- to create the best desserts for foodservice.
From a tiny bakery in Milton, the family worked to make their vision a reality; working alongside pastry chefs, dessert makers and bakers and spending countless late nights perfecting recipes that would become Priestley’s first creations. Many of these originals (like our Platinum Cheesecake) remain customer favourites to this day.
Thirty years on, Priestley’s operates from an industry-first, state-of-the-art bakery in Brisbane, led by niece and daughter Xanny Christophersen as CEO.
We’re proud to be Australia’s favourite wholesale cake supplier and continue to set the standard in crafted desserts. Because of this, you know that when you order from Priestley’s, it’ll be an absolute treat, because we taste test and perfect our desserts over and over and over and, well, you get the picture.
That’s our Priestley’s promise.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple, we don’t stand still and we strive for more. We are pioneers in the industry, meaning we say yes in the face of no, we are constantly re-imagining new ways of doing things and we play and create to constantly bring you new creations and inspiration.
We are creators at heart, always asking “what if?”, not limited by the current state of play and continuously bringing new ideas and innovation to our customers. We ask questions, seek feedback, seek to understand and identify gaps and bring along solutions with them to raise the bar across the industry.

“Sustainability for us is about ongoing improvement and continuously raising the bar. In the past year we have successfully reduced our energy intensity by 11%. Our commitment is to keep going and never rest on our laurels”. Xanny Christophersen, COO Priestley’s Gourmet Delights, July 2022.
We’re not resting on our laurels and have further targets in place across the business including the reduction of carbon emissions, zero waste to landfill, eliminating plastics from packaging and all packaging to be recyclable. We continue to set, measure and deliver targets in this area as part of ongoing commitment to sustainability. It is simply just something we do and has been embedded across all functions across the business.
