Our Story: The Legend of a Perfect Bake

Inspired by the legendary craftsman Māui, we believe every cake, pastry, and loaf of bread is a masterpiece. Our founder started Māui's Morsels in a small Wellington kitchen with a simple mission: to combine the finest New Zealand ingredients with time-honoured baking techniques. We pour our heart and soul into every creation, ensuring each morsel tells a story of passion and precision, from our hands to your home.

We meticulously select locally sourced free-range eggs from Kapiti Coast farms, rich artisanal butter from Taranaki, and premium flours milled right here in the South Island. This commitment to fresh, quality components guarantees a truly delightful experience. From the initial precise measurements to the careful crafting and the final expert bake, every stage is infused with dedication to the art of baking. We invite you to taste the difference that genuine passion and local goodness make.

Handcrafted with Patience

Our doughs are naturally leavened and our batters mixed by hand, using traditional techniques passed down through generations for exceptional flavour and texture. We never rush perfection.
