Athena Spyropoulos, the woman behind Athena Cake Shop in Marrickville, Sydney, passed away on Friday morning at the age of 89.

Athena, alongside her husband Aristomenis, ran the iconic pastry shop on Illawarra Road for decades. She was known for working hard behind the scenes, cooking delicious traditional Greek sweets.

The couple had two children, Efy and Kosmas. Until recently, Efy and her husband Christos ran the cake business after her parents retired.

Athena is survived by her husband, two children and their respective families.
