Sunday the Bakery is an online-ordered micro-bakery run from a home kitchen in Māngere, Auckland. It makes hand-crafted cakes, cookies, wedding cakes and seasonal cakes, including slab and tiered cakes, and delivers within Auckland. Its baker trained in traditional French patisserie, and the cakes are known for scalloped edges, unusual flavour pairings and seasonal flowers. A mystery flavour cake is also offered: you choose the size, date and time, and the flavour is a surprise drawn from the regular menu, a pop-up or a test-kitchen flavour. Customers should tell the bakery about any allergies when they order, and the bakery notes that products may contain traces of allergens, including the options made without added gluten.
A customer described the citrus guava cake as light, moist and just sweet enough, and said the shortbread cookie sandwiches were the highlight. Wedding, baby shower and special-event cakes are made to order, and the bakery invites enquiries about the design. Our pick in Māngere for a special-occasion cake with a personal touch.
