Why 48 Cakes Is The Gold Standard
Every standard New Zealand domestic oven comes with two wire racks. Trying to crowd three trays into a home oven ruins heat circulation, creates undercooked centers, and requires bulky extra gear.
Our calibrated 48-unit two-tray workflow guarantees perfect air circulation, even golden crusts, and an unhurried, stress-free 60-minute session:
First 24 Mini-Cakes
The baker blends the fresh wet and dry ingredients, fills the first two 12-cup silicone trays, and places one on each oven rack with optimal heat flow.
Second 24 Mini-Cakes
While Batch 1 cools, Batch 2 enters the oven. The kitchen fills with warm artisan aromas while the first batch is neatly unmolded.
Freezer Pack & Clean
All 48 cakes are packed into freezer-ready tiers with parchment dividers. The baker washes the silicone trays, sanitizes your benchtops, and exits.
Choose Your Host Kitchen Format
Every household runs differently. When you book a BAY session, let your baker know which kitchen setup fits your day:
“You Bake, We Relax” (Full Butler Service)
Sit back with a cup of tea, catch up on work, or host visiting friends in the lounge. The baker handles 100% of the kitchen work from ingredient measure to final benchtop sanitisation.
- • Zero kitchen duties for the host
- • Perfect for working parents & lunchbox prep
- • Complete peace and quiet while the freezer fills
“Kids Hands-On Academy”
Turn holiday boredom into a fun, practical kitchen experience! Up to two children step up to the bench alongside the baker to crack eggs, measure dry flour, and discover real kitchen craft.
- • Real kitchen skills & math in action
- • Fun holiday entertainment for kids
- • Baker handles oven transfers & all cleanup
The 2-Child Working System: Why We Keep It Focused
To ensure all 48 mini-cakes are baked and your kitchen is thoroughly cleaned within the 60-minute window, our bakers operate with a strict maximum of two active junior helpers at the kitchen bench. If you have additional siblings, cousins, or neighborhood friends visiting, they are warmly invited to watch, cheer, and taste-test from the breakfast bar or kitchen island stools!

What ingredients do I need to supply?
Just everyday domestic staples: standard flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. We provide the certified recipes, silicone bakeware, and step-by-step method.
Will 48 cakes fit in my standard home oven?
Yes! Every standard domestic oven has two racks. We bake two trays at a time across two batches (24 cakes × 2 = 48 cakes), ensuring even heat circulation without overcrowding.
How long do the mini-cakes stay fresh in the freezer?
Up to 90 days. Because we bake from scratch with real dairy butter, moisture stays locked in the crumb. Take two out in the morning, and they thaw bakery-fresh for school lunches in 15 minutes.
How does the 2-child rule work if we have more kids?
To ensure the session stays on schedule and completely safe around hot ovens, two children work directly at the bench with the baker. Other siblings or friends are welcome to watch, cheer, and taste-test from the island or kitchen table!
