Kaye Kake Kitchen was established in 1978 in Invercargill by Evan & Lois Penniall and now trades as Kaye’s Bakery. Now more than 25 years later our family still loves the southern lifestyle and the bakery business.

The success of our business has been built on the personal “hands on” approach we take towards the production of high quality baked goods made from natural ingredients, a philosophy of listening to what the customer has to say and adapting to changes in the market place, along with the look of the traditional home.

Starting from premises in Tisbury, Southland with a staff of five we initially concentrated on baking biscuits and slices. Now our business has diversified into other complementary areas, moved into larger and more accessible premises in Onslow Street, Invercargill, employs around 50 – 60 staff and have distributors throughout all major cities within New Zealand. 

We have many innovative machines built in our modern in-house workshop which we believe gives us the ability to produce both small and large runs economically. 

During 2001 a 25% shareholding was purchased in the local flourmill “South Flour”, which incidentally mills only Southland (locally) grown wheat. In January 2002 began producing the Cottrells Brand. Cottrells is a well-known Canterbury bakery being around for approximately 50 years. 

Our range of products now includes biscuits, slices, pies, sponges, fruit mince pies, loaves, kiwifruit export cookies and truffles. Our products are made from quality Southland flour, we are the largest supporter of the locally & privately owned South Flour mill. We have based our recipes on what you would make in your own kitchen but on a larger scale. 

Apart from producing a whole range of items under the Kaye’s label we manufacture brands for other companies in the retail, wholesale and gift market area. We also provide a frozen/refrigerated storage service, which includes potatoes, trees, seeds, icecreams and frozen foods, etc.
