Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes continues to rake in the awards, this time being judged as baking the best potato topped, best red meat and best gourmet pies in the country.
The bakery, which has two branches in Ocean Grove, and one in Leopold, Queenscliff and South Geelong, took home the awards from the Official Great Aussie Pie Competition in Sydney last week.
Out of more than 1500 pies judged, Rolling Pin’s chunky beef and bacon pie is officially the best red meat, and gourmet, pie in the nation while the lamb and minted pea and potato version is the best potato top/Shepherd’s pie.
Last year, Rolling Pin was inducted into the competition’s Hall of Fame, one of only three bakeries in Australia to be awarded the honour.
“We’re really stoked, it was a bit of a surprise,” owner Nathan Williams said.
“It’s been a great couple of years for us in this comp. We’ve been entering this comp for 30 years.
“I didn’t think we could top last year, but here we are.”
Overall, Rolling Pin won 17 gold medals, one silver and three bronze at the competition.
Mr Williams said he sent 18 pies to Sydney for the judges, but had to take three more on the plane with him because there wasn’t enough room.
The Aussie Pie Comp is the longest running and largest pie, sausage roll, and pastie competition in Australia.
