I always said if the idiots who make air fresheners areosole cans could create the smell of fresh baked bread they would have a winner.

We used to go past the bakery in Mt Isa in the 70s on our way home from Sunday sessions. We would buy a super fresh loaf of bread, break it in half and fill it with butter and there was tea done! The aroma used to permeate the neighbourhood and it was always something to behold.

Oh boy, this is my kind of thread - I love bakeries.

My current favourite WA bakery is Crossings Bakery in Pemberton... but I do admit I need to visit a lot more to choose the best. They are well awarded for their pies though, and the jam & cream donuts are the best I've ever seen, with most sugar coating I've seen, and two shots of jam

I keep reading about everyone's favourite bakeries but I'm not seeing many pictures.

Went to Morrall's bakery Bourke today.

Not the best.

My pastie contents were more like a pie? Gravy meat with a few veggies thrown in?

The bee sting was stale, tasteless and full of cream instead of custard? I do like cream but not in massive quantities. No honey flavour whatsoever.

The soft drink was quite nice.

Made"Granny Slices" (AKA snot blocks, custard cubes etc) today.

Epic custard depth and flavour.

Can anyone recommend a good bakery for Christmas fruit minced pies in southern Adelaide?

My usual source from the bakery in Woodcroft has ceased to exist. Went there today and closed for good by the looks.

Yep, better bake have closed for good unfortunately. They had a tough year last year with multiple deaths in the family within a short space of time. They opened again for a few months or so but for whatever reason have called it quits. Real shame.

New one just opened in Rutherglen a couple of weeks ago I have been meaning to try.
I've heard they have a large collection of vintage motorcycles on display.

Meanwhile had a lovely pie at Henri's Wodonga yesterday, no proof picture of said pie.

**X-AHH** · 08-01-2021, 02:12 PM

I decided to make a batch of beef and onion pies after Christmas because I was sick of turkey, ham and other Christmas food.

As usual, they were rather large due to the dessert bowls used as pie dishes

dont know about minced farts, but a great little place on Beach Rd Christies Beach, heading west its on the north side just before the last traffic lights. they have won a few awards for their goods. Google ,aps shows it as CJs bakery 39 Beach rd

another option would be the Croissant place in Lonsdale, mentioned somewhere on this page

Minced farts, LOL

I'll save that thought for after lunch on Christmas day.

Looks like I'm going on a multi-bakery reconnaissance mission tomorrow. The sacrifices I make for my family.

Barmera bakery - the Bonney cafe - has the tastiest pasties i have had in a good while.
Just the right amount of peppery spice without it being a pepper pasty

No yet, but it's on my hit list. It's literally 5 minutes drive from my home.

It opens at some really bazar hours from what I've been told?

It opens during week days when I went there. But worth it.

Tonz · 10-01-2021, 06:54 PM

OPENING HOURS
Monday - Friday 5am - 1pm off website.

Ganmain Bakery vanilla slice, purchased and eaten on day of posting, $3.50:

Very sweet, sticky, custard not too “floury”. Base a little characterless and crumbly. Chocolate drizzle surprisingly good quality.

Hard to review more fully as it’s the first thing I’ve eaten for 12 hours.

blueoval · 09-02-2021, 01:13 PM

that looks disgustingly delicious.

My 22nd wedding anniversary this weekend. Going to hit up the French Croissant bakery in Lonsdale again to celebrate.

Need to reign in the amount I eat though. On a diet

Bad timing

Citroënbender · 09-02-2021, 01:39 PM

Congratulations (or commiserations!) all over again.

Congrats Shav, good time to book one of those Cabn cabins.

23 years for me in September.

Good excuse as any for more baked goods going in to your belly I reckon

Thanks Rob. It is a good excuse although I want to make sure I enjoy the food rather than just scoff it down.

Yeah man ... they have some great pies there and cakes and pastries.
Not only that ... lunch menu is good too ... and well priced for the serving sizes you get.

blueoval · 11-02-2021, 01:15 PM

Went and picked up about 20 croissants of varying flavors. Havent had sweet/savoury items like this for week since being on this diet and Im currently frothing while eating. I hope this doesnt undo the work Ive done thus far
