The Caker makes luxury cake kits from whole ingredients.

The Caker is a business with one overarching goal - to spread the joy that cake brings by making great cake accessible to everyone. Alongside The Caker’s bakeries in Auckland New Zealand and Los Angeles and recipe books written by the brand’s figurehead chef Jordan Rondel, The Caker has a line of luxury cake mixes. These cake kits are unlike any other on the market with the unfaltering focus on the quality of the ingredients they contain and their avant-garde packaging, which makes them an amazing gift.

The Caker earns largely positive reviews for elevated cake mixes that taste homemade and look gift-worthy, with standout flavors like Spiced Carrot, Flourless Dark Chocolate Gold Leaf, and Coconut Raspberry Lime. Reviews also flag weaknesses: thin, dense bakes that don’t rise much, overly sweet elements (especially caramel/frosting), unclear add‑in measurements (e.g., pears), and the need for many additional ingredients—leaving some questioning value despite the striking packaging and easy, clear instructions.
