...the most important step in the process of creating our Christmas cakes is ensuring that the fruit element is just right.
A beautiful combination of dried fruit combined with ginger and rich, flavoursome brandy that is eagerly absorbed by the fruit is what provides the much-loved flavour and delicious texture to all of our cakes. It truly stands strong with the Artisan tradition.

The first of the stock will be available later in the year from our major stockists such as Ballantynes (Chch) , Total Food Equipment (Chch ) ,Moore Wilson's (Well), and Farrows (Akld) soon followed by other speciality stores around the country and for the very first time, also via our website.
