Zest Cakes - Queenstown Cakes

Our beloved Zest Cakes is now closed!

Jenny and I have decided to close down our bakery in January 2025 due to business and personal reasons. It's very sad but the only constant in life is change!

Thank you so much for all the love and support through the years!

"OMG sooooo yummy! Like melt in your mouth good! Easily the best cakes and biscuits in town. Lovingly hand crafted, by amazing friendly staff, couldn’t recommend enough." - Kirsten

"I contacted Zest from Australia to order a Black Forest Gateau to be delivered for my daughter's birthday in Queenstown. The cake was amazingly creative and a work of art, and tasted fantastic! Zest's customer service is excellent, from ease of selecting and ordering on their website, promptly producing amazing and delicious creations, swift personal delivery, to taking time out of their busy day to respond to my emails. Thank you Anouva and team for your excellent customer service, world-class creations and helping to make my daughter's birthday special." R.R.P

"Twice this week we have had the pleasure of savouring the most delicious cakes, hand made for each occasion. The first was a white chocolate tart which is like a large crème brûlée on a base - an out of this world divine experience for flavour. Rich and creamy you don’t need much but we all had seconds and the rest kept well for the next day. Today we had a triple layered lemon cake beautifully decorated with flowers, white chocolate shavings and dehydrated lemons. Not only did Mum ( the reciever of the cake) think it was possibly the most beautiful cake she had ever received, it was devoured by 3 generations who absolutely loved it. Highly recommend Zest Cakes. Thank you Anouva for the love you poured into them." - Vicki

"Zest Cakes Queenstown made an incredible two tiered carrot cake for our wedding cake, it was delicious! They also made Anzac biscuits which were our wedding favours (they were deliciously chewy). We had a wonderful experience working with Anouva. We planned our wedding from Australia, everything was nice and organised with good communication, so it was an stress-free experience. Thank you so much Anouva." -Sophie

"We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for the cake on Saturday. It looked absolutely stunning and tasted so good too. All of our guests loved it! Thanks also for all your help and for being so easy to work with. It's been an absolute pleasure." - James & Dill
