If you've been here for a while, you might remember The Flying Cakery from a couple of years back.

It started out as a way to offer cake delivery around Auckland, but I always knew I wanted to take it further.
Fast forward three years, a complete rethink, new logo and an unreasonable amount of testing later, we've gone from the original round cakes to this decadent layered cake with 2 blocks of Whittaker's chocolate in it, that fits perfectly in its box 😍

The Flying Cakery is officially its own brand and we're sending cake NZ-wide ✈️ So if you've tried my cakes before and loved them, you can now send one to your friends and family anywhere in NZ 🥰 www.theflyingcakery.co.nz

Karaka Kitchen isn't going anywhere. I've just been busy building something new.

Come follow my new baby over at 🍰✈️ We're also running a giveaway over there for the next two days 👀

Our son Grayson has been given an AMAZING opportunity to travel to Samoa and compete in the 1st Nations Polynesian Basketball Samoa Championships ✨🏀
He is absolutely killing it with his basketball, and we couldn’t be prouder of him! 🥹

The trip comes at a significant cost and with fairly short notice, so we’re fundraising to help get him there. I’m so excited to be collaborating with some amazing local businesses to bring you four incredible prizes:

🎂 Prize 1: $100 Karaka Kitchen cake voucher

🎬 Prize 2: Four Silky Otter movie tickets

☕🧁 Prize 3: $50 The Daily Goods voucher + 12 Karaka Kitchen mini cupcakes

☕🧁 Prize 4: $50 The Daily Goods voucher + 12 Karaka Kitchen mini cupcakes

We’re so grateful to have two of our genuine local favourites involved. The Daily Goods is our favourite café in town, and Silky Otter is one of our favourite places to go as a family, with super-comfy seats and amazing food.

Tickets are $5 each or five for $20 and can be purchased here:
