The experienced family-owned Halswell Bakery has settled into its new premises at Shop 7, in the old Westpac Bank on Halswell Road, and from there can take care of all your catering needs.
Simple, rustic style wedding cakes and beautiful fresh sandwich platters, perfect for the bridal party to snack on while preparing for the day, are their specialty. “We can help you celebrate this special occasion without breaking the bank,” says owner Ruth.
At Halswell Bakery, the team prides itself on products being hand-crafted with love. Its bespoke service means you can get exactly what you want for your engagement party, hen/stag do, post-event gathering, or the wedding day itself.
Beyond just catering on the day, there are many other possibilities available; cupcakes are a fun and creative way to pop the question to your bridesmaids, while beautifully packaged personalised cookies are great wedding favours.
