Our Story
From a Small Kitchen to a Big Dream
Burrow Baking was born from a simple idea — that desserts should feel like home.
Our story began in the heart of Kathmandu, where a passion for brownies and cheesecakes evolved into Kharayo Bakes, Nepal’s most loved bakery brand. What started as an online brownie venture grew into a full-fledged bakery and café loved by thousands — built on taste, honesty, and creativity.
Now, that same heart has found a new home in Australia.
Burrow Baking carries forward the spirit of Kharayo — the rabbit — curious, humble, and always moving forward. We bake not just for the sweet tooth, but for the soul that craves comfort, nostalgia, and discovery.
Our Australian Chapter
Burrow Baking is a story of migration, connection, and reinvention.
When we arrived in Sydney, we carried more than recipes — we carried a dream to blend the warmth of Nepali hospitality with Australia’s open, creative culture. Every dessert we bake represents that fusion: familiar yet new, local yet global.
From the buttery softness of our brownies to the delicate layers different flavors, we craft everything with love — using premium Australian ingredients, ethical sourcing, and small-batch baking that prioritizes quality over quantity.
🎨 Our Vision
To make people feel something every time they open a box.
Our vision is simple — to bring emotion, art, and authenticity into modern baking. We don’t just want to sell desserts; we want to create experiences that remind you of your favorite memories, travels, and people.
We believe food can tell stories — stories that connect continents, families, and cultures.
Through our designs, recipes, and packaging, we aim to become a bridge between Nepal and Australia, sharing sweetness that transcends geography.
⚙️ Our Production Philosophy
Every batch is handcrafted — from scratch, every single day.
We don’t rush. We whisk, fold, and taste until it feels right.
Our production combines traditional techniques with modern precision — slow baking, minimal preservatives, locally sourced butter, and premium couverture chocolate.
Our kitchens are built around consistency and creativity — the perfect balance between structure and soul. Whether it’s a single brownie or a full dessert box, each product passes through strict quality checks to ensure freshness, texture, and that unmistakable Burrow Baking taste.

🌏 Our Story in a Box
Every Burrow Baking box represents more than dessert.
It’s a piece of Australia — its sunlight, its warmth, and its spirit of openness — blended with the roots and heart of Nepal. From the golden tones of our packaging to the hand-drawn bunny logo, everything has meaning.
Our boxes are designed to be collectible — to remind you of where you’ve been, and to make you smile before you even take the first bite. Because we believe presentation is the first taste.
💛 Our Promise
We promise to always stay curious, humble, and passionate — just like the rabbit that inspired our name.
We’ll keep innovating, keep improving, and keep sharing our story with the world — one dessert, one box, one smile at a time.
