The She Bakes NZ story

Hi! I'm Nat. The SHE behind the BAKES.

I’ve been interested in baking since as long as I can remember. As a kid I enjoyed baking & selling muffins from my driveway. Most recently I have worked as a baker in various cafes/cake shops & completed a certificate in bakery. Fast forward 30 years later and I’m out here living the childhood dream.

The birth of She Bakes NZ

During the pandemic an idea was born to turn the passion into a reality. At the end of 2021 I left my job as a pastry chef to start She Bakes. I began by attending the local Cromwell Farmers Market and taking cake orders.

The Baking

All of the bakes are handcrafted and not one item is the same. The cakes are beautifully decorated using buttercream icing, handmade chocolates, using the best ingredients with no added nasties. The online shop is only a small offering of what is available in store so please come check out the cute food/coffee trailer and sample some of our goodies including our famous lemon blueberry yoghurt loaf and flat white served in an edible cookie cup. Yum!
