That can't be Cavs slice, must be someone else's. His would be at least three times that size.

Normally I'd agree with you, but Cav's missus has put him on a diet.
She's the boss......

Our daughter organised a surprise home delivery this morning: cupcakes from Bec Bakes at Cronulla.

I had this one. Chocolate cake topped with vanilla icing and a Tim Tam.

I rate them as 9/10 for presentation and 7/10 for taste. The cake is fine; the icing could be softer.

The benchmark for cupcakes is set by My Little Cupcake at Neutral Bay or the Lilli Pilli Bakery. Both are well ahead of the competition.

Sambusak / Fatayer from The Lebanese Loaf, West Ryde

Filled with rich cheese, baked fresh today. They’re slightly collapsed because I nudged them in the microwave after getting home.

Photo taken before the essential condiment was added.

Ded orse?

Naturally!

I will add, that shop has ripping baklava as well. You can get it by weight in a cardboard tray. Better than buying a platter of Abla’s. And fresh breads, baked early in the morning. Just got to time the drive-by right so you’re not eating lunch at 10:00AM.

Is that the one opposite the RAAF base. If so my wife won a Facebook comp for a box of cakes etc. It had a very delicious vanilla slice in it, caramel slice amongst other goodies.

In New York a few years ago we hit Carlos Bakery. Apparently this dude had a TV show. Anyway we smashed the pastries there.
I don’t mind a funnel cake from Disneyland and Disney World either.

Well bakery buffs, it's nearly the colder months of the year so what better time to rekindle The Bakery Thread!

Saw this on the idiot box today.

It's now on my bakery bucket list

Is this a covert ploy to encourage Leesa back online? The tomato sauce cheer squad is short one.

Never saw much eye to eye with her but she added to this place, I'd be happy to see her back. Different opinions get you thinking...and a bit of a buffer for the toxic masculinity here.

Our local bakery has new owners .. Different pies here and there , new baker too . The bread is good so I buy a couple of loaves a week there again now. Only disappointment is the cream horns ..Previous owners CH's were just the best , Real jam , real cream .. The new lot still have them but they are not a patch on Evelyn's . Quiches are very nice though .. The new owners also stay open longer ..

Citroënbender · 10-04-2022, 10:41 AM

How are the prices - any change?

roKWiz · 11-04-2022, 02:01 PM

Working out the back of Eldorado as I passed through this morning it was time to try a place that's never opened (whenever I've previously passed it) , and mr google tells me its permantely closed. ??

This square pie, that's supposed to be round, is full of chunks of steak and is just perfect with a non sloppy taste of gravy. Though it was looking a little pale the pastry was great and flaky.
Who knows if the place will be open next time !

Stopped off at the old Cox Dredge nearby to devour it.

I see a vegetarian pie has won a serious national prize in Australia.

Yes, heard that on the news last night.

Vegetarian pie from Victoria’s Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes named Australia’s best
The man who baked the pie said he was in ‘complete shock’ when his controversial creation took the top spot.

Australia’s best pie has been revealed after an expert judging panel taste-tested thousands of entries from across the country.

A vegetarian mushroom and truffle pie from Victoria’s Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes bakery came out on top at the 2022 Australia’s Best Pie & Pastie Competition.

The controversial creation contains three types of mushroom, herbs and a truffle filling wrapped in a golden flaky pastry crust, with no meat in sight.

Held by the Baking Association of Australia, the competition is the industry’s only recognised national pie and pastie competition.

Each year a panel of judges spends three days tasting baked goods over a number of categories including beef, vegetarian, mushroom and gourmet before selecting one pie as the overall winner.

It’s the second year in a row the Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes bakery, which has stores in Queenscliff, Leopold and South Geelong, has taken out the top award.

Last year its surf’n’turf pie containing chunky beef and prawns in a rich garlicky sauce was named the nation’s best pie.

Rolling Pin manager Nathan Williams told Sunrise he was left in “complete shock” after being awarded the top gong for his vego creation.

“It is definitely surprising that they would give it to a pie with no meat,” he told David Koch and Natalie Barr on Wednesday.

Williams said the secret behind the tasty pie was ”getting the right amount of truffle in there”.

“If you don’t put enough in you won’t taste it, but if you put too much in it can really take over the whole pie.”

He said the feedback from customers has been “amazing” with some even driving hours just to taste the baked treat.

In a funny twist, Williams admitted he doesn’t eat the pie himself “because I really don’t like mushrooms at all”.
