If you've been in Akaroa recently, you may have stopped for tea and cake at The Cake Room. It's a beautiful old restored house, filled with even more beautiful cakes, baked on site by the owner, Katey Thew-Thin. Katey grew up in New Zealand, but lived in Australia for long time - cheffing and catering in Melbourne, then moving to Queensland where she ran a business catering for numerous cafes, making all the cakes and slices as well as wedding cakes. Just over a year ago, she and her family moved back home and she opened The Cake Room in Akaroa. Black Doris Plum cake is a hot seller at the moment , as is Baklava cheese cake , and the recipe she'll share with us today, Orange Olive Oil Cake.
