Cakebread Pudding & Pie. 100% Gorgeous.
We love cake because it is meant as a celebration of love and life. We eat cake to celebrate a birth, a christening, a union between two people, a religious festival with family and loved ones or the end of a beautiful meal shared with good friends.
The secret ingredient in any cake is not found in many baking guides… love!
All home-baked cakes are born from love. Love of baking, of creating, of giving. You bake a cake for someone because you love them, and it makes them – and you – feel special in the process.
Our love of all things food, especially cakes, started in Room 9 of a small town West Coast hotel with a mother who took catering for large events and weddings in her stride, with a grandmother who was a master baker and always, always had fresh cake in the house, and a green-fingered father and grandfather whose combined gardens contained bananas, figs, avocados, lemons, oranges, quinces, plums, passion fruit, grapefruit, papayas, grapes and guavas. Naturally, most of these fruits feature in our recipes.
At Cakebread, our little boutique bakery, the aim is always to give our customers a product with this same distinct home-made feel. None of those replicate-a-thousand-times-a-day supermarket cakes for us. No cake looks exactly the same as the next. We believe imperfection is perfection, as long as there is love in the cake. We believe that this is why our cakes taste so delicious. We believe that taste always matters more than anything.
