Cakewise is a bakery in the small harbour-side village of Point Wells, Rodney, and holds a 5.0 rating on Google. A good bakery is as much about timing as technique: bread and pastries are at their best within a few hours of the oven, which is why regulars learn the baking rhythm and arrive early. It's worth asking what is actually baked on site, since the difference between fresh batches and reheated stock shows straight away. For celebration cakes, don't leave it late either, as weekend slots at good bakeries tend to book out well in advance, so it pays to ring ahead rather than rely on the cabinet on the day. Cakewise looks to be exactly that sort of village stop, handy for Point Wells locals and anyone heading up the Matakana coast.
