The Cake Diary is a boutique cakery and picking garden at 101 Govett Avenue in Frankleigh Park, New Plymouth. The owner is a trained florist, who started the business in 2011 as a journal of creative ideas. Its cakes are finished with spray-free garden flowers, edible flowers and berries, and the business offers wedding cakes, celebration cakes, cake and floral pieces, and baking boxes of traditional flavours. Allergy-friendly cakes are available on request, including gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options, which are arranged by email. Cake orders need 48 hours' notice, and deliveries are made within the New Plymouth area only.
Customers say the ordering process was easy, with direct email messages and prompt replies. One customer who ordered a gluten-free cake found the whole experience flawless. Others praise a wedding cake that was beautifully presented and tasted excellent, and a vegan, allergy-friendly cake that was just as good. Customers also say their clients were very happy with cupcakes delivered for an event. The website lists an event for Friday 5 to Sunday 7 September 2026. For a celebration cake that suits a special diet in New Plymouth, the cakery offers a made-to-order option with clear communication.
