The pastry chefs at Whittlesea Bakehouse know a thing or two about making a great pie.
The Church Street bakery won first place in two categories and picked up seven gold medals at the Great Aussie Pie Competition recently.
The bakehouse’s Whittlesea pie won the best barbecue pie category, while the pepper pie won best pepper steak.
Pastry chef Adrian Caporetto said it was the pastry that made a great pie.
“The secret is all in the pastry. You want crisp, buttery pastry, and of course fresh ingredients,” he said.
This is the second time the bakery has competed at the Great Aussie Pie Competition, taking out the sausage roll category last year.
