ABOUT US

Original Foods Baking Co. is a wholesale bakery and proudly New Zealand owned business.

We don’t mean to boast but when it comes to baking, we’re pretty good at it! In fact, we’ve been doing it for over 30 years.

Our award-winning, sweet treats are baked daily at our Wigram, Christchurch headquarters and can be found in leading supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, catering companies and airlines in New Zealand and across the pacific (we’re looking at you Australia, the Cook Islands and Samoa!).

We also have our very own onsite cafe, The Donut Destination, with great coffee, food, custom cakes, donut boxes and more all served fresh from the bakery door!

Baking the world a better place.

Our team are continuously working to improve the way we bake, we’re proud to be a leader in the NZ Baking industry and are accredited by:

The Art of Good Baking

Our delicious range of over 100 kinds of cakes, brownies, cookie pies, muffins, slices, bites, and more is made from quality ingredients, with minimal additives or preservatives and a whole lot of love.

Where possible, we use fresh, local ingredients including, 100% NZ butter, cream, cream cheese, diced apples, lemon peel, yoghurt, rolled oats, walnuts, white and dark choc, and freshly grated carrot.

We are always cooking up new creations (see what we did there?) and we even have gluten-free options to enjoy.

It’s why we’re New Zealand’s favourite wholesale baker.

Our Cage Free Egg Commitment

Most of our delicious treats are already baked using cage-free egg products. We’re committed to making the switch entirely, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll be completely cage-free by 2027!

Sharing our Baking Love with New Zealand Community’s

As a proud, New Zealand owned business we believe in giving back to the community and we support a range of charities and initiatives each year.

We regularly donate pallets of our delicious product to the Salvation Army, One Mother to Another, Full Bellies, Foodbank Aotearoa New Zealand, 0800 Hungry and Kiwi Harvest. These pallets are kindly transported across New Zealand by our distribution partner, Big Chill, and the local charities hand out our baking to those in need via their Welfare Centres and food parcels.

We are strong supporters of local schools, community initiatives and charities through donating our delicious product. If you would like to apply for a donation, please complete our Sponsorship Application Form.

We also have a delicious fundraising programme where you sell our sweet treats and the profits are all yours! Contact us if you wish to discuss our delicious fundraising programme.
