About Us

Regal Shortbread has been operating from a registered home kitchen in Whitby, Wellington, NZ since August 2015, and in October 2018 got a fully functional commercial kitchen *yay*. We use fresh ingredients to create handcrafted shortbread in six delectable flavours, delicious & crunchy South African Rusks in 4 flavours and a myriad of treats at the Thorndon Market every Saturday - the markets are attended by me, the Regal Duchess a.k.a Anita and my daughter, Inka.

Feel free to contact me through More Info page.

Chocolate Panforte

a hard, spicy Sienese cake containing nuts, candied peel, and honey (and made with lots of love).

Olive oil pear & apple cake

This beauty of a cake has hazelnut cream cheese frosting, with a caramel mirror glaze and garnished with garden blooms.

Almond & Anise seed nougat

The consistency of this nougat is chewy, but soft on your teet at the same time. We sell this by the slice wrapped in home compostable cellophane.

Pumpkin & Fennel pie with parmesan granola.

A scrumptious pumpkin and fennel pie with Parmesan granola sprinkled on top (and completely edible nasturtium flowers). The topping flowers change by season, but are always edible I promise!
