Baker Daryl Collier was one of the few already awake when the earthquake struck at 4.35am.
His first thought was that a train had derailed at the back of his property and was heading towards the building.
“It was a hell of a shake, it just went straight underneath us.”
Collier, the owner of Darfield Bakery, was with another baker when the quake struck and the power went out.
The pair found themselves in the dark, wading through fat from the fryers which had tipped over.
A lot of stock was lost but with no structural damage, the bakery was up and running the following day.
They were inundated with customers desperate for a coffee, a loaf of bread or just some company.

But standing in the quiet grounds, surveying its form and lines years on, it is hard to imagine how it could cost so much to repair.

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.
Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.
Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.
When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.
“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”
