ROLLING Pin Pies and Cakes\u2019 Country Lamb and Rosemary Pie is proving to be a competition stalwart.<\/p>\n
In late June, the pie was judged Australia’s Best Gourmet Pie at the Australia’s Best Pie Competition on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n
It has now won 14 gold medals, judged overall Best Gourmet Pie (Great Aussie Pie Competition 2016\/17) and now Australia’s Best Pie – Gourmet Category 2018.<\/p>\n
Rolling Pin Pies and Cakes\u2019 Nathan Williams said there was nothing overly innovative about the pie; it just tasted amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, the combination of rosemary and lamb is a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdd slow-cooked lamb, fresh vegetables and a punch in the face of flavour, and you have a great pie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Williams said Rolling Pin followed it up with a great result at the first ever official Geelong Baking Show (run by the Baking Association of Australia) at The Gordon, picking up six gongs.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost notably, our Beefsteak and Jumbo Chunky pies taking out first and second in the much coveted and highly contested Plain Pie category, and our Meat and Veg pasty for placing first by a massive 8 points,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also won best small fruit tart and best large fruit flan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled with the results.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt creates a real buzz in the shop and it\u2019s a wonderful validation of the hard work the team puts in.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did feel some added pressure going in to the local Geelong competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of our success at national competitions we felt we really needed to put in a good showing at Geelong\u2019s first major baking show, and we are extremely happy with our results.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
