A Baker's Life

As Kiwis we love our cafés – to celebrate, catch up, study, relax, or just as an escape - and these moments couldn’t be any better than with a sweet or savoury treat made with a bit of love. To celebrate our love of baking, Edmonds wanted to uncover some of the bakers that keep New Zealand’s fabulous cafes ticking along, and the secrets to some of their favourite recipes. So we asked legendary cook Annabelle White to hit the dusty trail and help us find some of the best bakers in this country of ours. Click and explore below, and make sure to check back for updates!
