Eight whisper-thin layers, lightly sweetened cream, rested overnight until every layer melts into the next. Baked fresh to order.
Four cakes, each built from the same patient layering. Choose a size and add it to your order.
The Hive Cakery started with one honey cake recipe carried across the world and baked for friends in our Auckland kitchen. We still make every cake to order, in small batches, by hand — no shortcuts, no preservatives, just honey, cream and time.
