🥢 PULLED PORK JUS BAO BUN 🥢

Tender pulled pork, rich savoury jus, tucked into a soft bao bun and topped with fresh, crunchy Asian slaw. 🤤

Sweet, savoury, juicy and packed with flavour — this one is seriously hard to resist!

Hey team ❤️
I wanted to be a bit vulnerable with you all today 😐

Most of you know I don’t often slow down, but lately my health has been reminding me that I’m not quite as invincible as I like to think I am. Between my heart history and ongoing issues with low blood pressure, I’ve had to start listening to my body and easing back where I can.

For the last year and a half I’ve run largely on determination, caffeine and stubbornness to keep the cabinets full and the ovens running. But lately my body has been reminding me that I can’t keep asking it to do the impossible.
With surgery coming up, I’ve had to take a step back in the lead-up and let my body catch up. This means there will be days where we run out of some of your favourite pies and cabinet items a little earlier than usual. There will still be plenty of delicious options available, just maybe not the full range every day.

My amazing team have really stepped up and are doing everything they can, while I’m learning that sometimes looking after my health has to come before trying to do absolutely everything myself. The rest can wait until I’m back running around causing chaos again 🤭

A good friend recently reminded me that there is no Deelish without Dee ❤️

If you have confirmed catering booked with us, don’t worry — those orders will absolutely be honoured. However, we won’t be taking on any additional catering bookings for the time being.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support. It means more than you’ll ever know.

If your favourite pie isn’t there this week, please be kind to the team. They are honestly doing their best, and I am incredibly grateful for every single one of them. 🥹❤️

The pies will be back. The meal will be back. The slices will be back. The chaos will definitely be back.

Right now, I’m just making sure Dee is too. ❤️

Love,

Dee ❤️

Our first collaboration! 🎉

We’ve teamed up with Te Chili to create something a little bit special for you all. Two local businesses coming together, combining what we do best, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

Keep an eye on the cabinet this week… this one’s got a bit of kick to it 🌶️🥧

Supporting local, creating local, and having a bit of fun along the way ❤️

A little update from us at Deelish Bakery 🥧❤️

With things busier than ever, and showing no signs of slowing down (quite the opposite, with lines out the door literally!), we’re making a few changes to our opening hours so we can keep up with demand and keep the cabinets stocked for longer each day.

📅 From 1 sept our new hours will be:
Monday – Friday: 5:30am – 3:30pm
(previously 5:00am – 2:00pm)

And the big news...

🎉 From Saturday 12th September, we will officially be opening Saturdays as a test run! 🎉

Thank you all for the incredible support that’s made this possible. What started as a little bakery has grown far quicker than we ever imagined, and we’re excited to see where this next step takes us.

Please note that we will be closed Monday 7th September while Dee undergoes a minor surgery and takes a few days to recover. Everything is expected to go smoothly, and she’ll be back in the kitchen as soon as she’s able. We appreciate your understanding and patience while we take this short pause.

As always, thank you for supporting us. We truly appreciate every pie bought, coffee ordered, kind word shared, and recommendation made.

We can’t wait to see you all for our first official Saturdays! ❤️🥧

Challenge accepted, Nelson? 👀

150kg of mince, 40kg of beef, and 10kg of pāua — we’re loading the cabinets harder than ever this week. 🥧🔥

That’s a lot of pastry and a truckload of cheese to match! 😅

After the last few weeks of pie madness, the question is...

Can you run us out again?

Game on. 💪🥧

I think I want to identify as pork!!
Apparently a beer bath, a good rub and several hours of heat is what it takes to become one of our pork pies these days.

No complaints from us. 🐷 🥧

Well… I guess the sign says it all 😂😭

SOLD OUT. CLOSED.

What an absolutely INSANE week. 🥹❤️

We have genuinely been blown away by the support this week. We’ve cooked, baked, served, restocked, cooked some more… and somehow you guys STILL managed to eat everything! 😂

A massive thank you to every single customer who has supported us, shared our posts, brought your friends in, tried something new or simply grabbed your usual pie. 🥧❤️

And to my staff — you absolute legends. You have worked your bloody guts out this week and I couldn’t be more grateful for you. ❤️

We had to shut early today because we literally ran out of food… which is a pretty bloody good problem to have, even if we’re all completely knackered! 😂

Biggest week we’ve ever had.
Thank you, Nelson. ❤️

🥧 TRIPLED OUR PIE SALES OVERNIGHT 🤯

You’ve probably seen it - the man himself Kosmos.nz, visited us recently and shared a review of our Mince & Double Cheese Pie.

9.4 out of 10 he reckons! 😍

We’re bloody stoked to have someone like him come in and hype up our little business. It means a lot - and honestly, it freaks us out a little bit too! 😂

We already know the power of social media. Every time one of our awesome customers shouts out our pies in the community grapevine groups, we see an influx of new customers.

So this... THIS we knew we had to prepare for.

We worked overtime to make as many pies as we possibly could - and managed to make TRIPLE what we normally do.

And just like that, in one day... they’re all gone. 🥧💨

Unfortunately, as hard as our team hustled, we’re still a small crew of 4, so we can only do our best.

That means tomorrow, the pie warmer might be a little low until we catch up.

We’ll do our absolute best, but if you come in and we don’t have what you’re after, please be a little patient with our team. ❤

We LOVE the aroha - and we’re so bloody grateful for all the new faces walking through our doors.

A massive THANK YOU to Kosmos for doing awesome things for small businesses all over the country.

Absolute legend 💪

A little bakery behind-the-scenes 👀

What you guys don’t see is that for the past 8 months, one person has been doing ALL the cooking on the premises… and yeah, it’s been bloody hard work! 😂

But guess what… we’re growing! 🙌🏻

We now have a part-time baker for the sweet cabinet, and soon to be a second set of hands in the kitchen. Which means more food, more variety and hopefully less kitchen chaos and a little more sleep! 😂

So Nelson… WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE?! 👇🏻

More hot food? Bain-marie options? Old-school favourites? Something completely new? Salads? Protein shakes?
Hit us with your ideas 💡

Tell us what you’re craving — we’re listening! 👀🔥

And honestly, thank you for keeping us so bloody busy that we’ve been able to hire. I know how many businesses in and around Nelson are doing it incredibly tough right now, and seeing so many forced to close their doors is genuinely heartbreaking.

So our appreciation for every single one of you supporting us runs very, very deep. ❤️

Now… tell us what to cook! 😂
