I always enjoyed baking up a storm growing up.
Mum and I had a deal, if I filled the biscuit tins she'd do my dishes.

With that being the sweetest deal imaginable as a kid, you can guarantee that kitchen looked like a tornado had been through it every time I baked!

​

Fast forward a decade, I replied to an ad for an entry level chef when I first moved to Palmerston North.

You could say I fell into the world of cooking professionally by accident, being a chef wasn't something I'd really considered.

It was the only job I could get at the time, and well, turns out pursuing ones hobby as a job can pay off and I have been stuck in kitchens ever since! 

 

With almost 20 years industry experience as a qualified chef, working my way up and down the ladder, in NZ & QLD, from cold section to grill to patisserie, cafes to restaurants, hotels to golf courses and even mobile catering, I felt the time had come to pour my energy and creativity into pursuing my own dreams and passions.

​

From that Anna Louise Cakes & Cater was born, a creative outlet for me to do whatever I please!

​

With celebration & wedding cakes front and centre these days, don't worry, I won't be letting all those years in kitchens go to waste. With boutique catering services available I'm here for most of your food needs.

From grazing to drop off catering to private chef services most options are on the table.

So please don't hesitate to get in touch with any catering you may desire and lets chat!
