Cantabrian bakeries dominate the bun business winning three out of the last five years. So, if you are looking for delicious tasting buns, best bake your way to Christchurch.
The 2019 award-winning Michael's Bakery is known for its superior buns, pies, cakes, and pastries. The business is family-run where the crew makes a variety of mouth-watering baked goods by hand. For more than 30 years, Michael Meaclem has owned and operated Michael's Bakery in Hillmorton.
He believes the difference between lots of different bakers and their buns is the spices and fruits they choose. Every baker has their special way of conditioning the bun. This means they will soak it in something to make it taste better, softer and more delicious.
“The biggest thing about a bun is its softness.”
