Great Cakes in New Zealand

"By far the prettiest bakery in Auckland, Bluebells Cakery is a charming vintage-inspired spot and full of so many delicious cakes and treats you will hard-pressed to decide on which sweet thing to order. High on my list of favourite cake flavours are the banana and salted caramel, which is as amazing as it sounds and the fabulous lemon curd which has just the right amount of sweetness and bite. If classic flavours are more your thing make sure you try the vanilla bean, it's definitely the most perfect vanilla cake in Auckland. Bluebells cakes are addictively good and from your first visit you'll find any excuse to re-visit this suburban treat haven."

"Known for their creative recipes and super fresh baking, Delish Cupcakes, are a true cake gem and have built up a loyal following over the past few years. Every single cupcake is baked fresh in store each day and carefully decorated by Delish's clever team, the flavours are all kinds of awesome with everything from classic chocolate with chocolate ganache to Perky Nana and Pinky Bar inspired cupcakes sure to please the kids or your inner child. I find it impossible to order just one with vanilla passionfruit and jersey caramel high on my list of favourites. If you're keen to unleash your inner baker they also offer cupcake making classes for adults and children which are a lot of fun and you leave with tasty treats to take home if they make it that long! They also make custom cakes and cupcakes to order which are definitely worth doing. If you can't make it to the shore you can order from them online too - no excuses not to try some, you'll be glad you did!"
