The aussie pie council presents

“Having won the Best Sausage Roll (Manufacturing) Award in 2025, we embraced the attention, social media exposure and additional business we received as a result. The introduction of the ‘manufacturing’ sector of the awards was a timely and apt recognition for large-scale production output facilities like Casper’s Pies & Pastries. Our systems, processes and workflows require a more durable, long-lasting product to handle multiple stages of production and dispatch handling. The Official Great Aussie Pie Competition is a terrific brand-exposing platform and the recognition of excellence in various categories provides validation and exposure on another level. For us, the win opened a range of new business opportunities and brand awareness: something difficult in our ‘naked’ product supply. In addition a multitude of new customers frequented the on-site café in Bayswater to taste our famous sausage rolls.”

"As a proud Victorian small business, our winnings over the years at the Great Aussie Pie Competition with our Chicken Banana Curry Pie (2023) and Game Pie (2025) has been an incredible milestone for Hungie Fangs Bakery. It's not just the recognition for our flavours-it's validation of the hard work and passion that goes in everything we bake. Over the years brought new faces through our doors, strengthened the loyalty of our local community and our small country bakery on the map. We have seen the pride in our team grow, the buzz in the shop lift and a real momentum built around what we do best- creating bold, unforgettable bakery goods and pies that people travel for."

“We will definitely be back next year bigger and with more pies! We can't keep up with production and it has only been a week since the comp ended... pie sales have doubled from the event for just getting a few bronze and a couple of silver medals! Thank you!"

"What surprised me most was the amount of attention the media gave us from newspapers, radio stations, and even television networks. Most of them made time to come out and interview us on the win. Sales were affected immediately - bakers were doing double shifts and pie sales almost tripled. We took advantage of the win and did some local marketing which has made a big difference in our branding. Winning the award this year is a priority."

"Our seafood pie sales have increased 150% already and the other pies are moving out the door and have increased about 80%...so that’s been great!"

"Major media including newspapers and radio have swarmed my shop for articles and pictures. It makes me feel like a movie star after winning. Once the press released the details, my phone rang off the hook with people wanting my address, my pie sales have gone through the roof, causing my bakery to work double shifts to keep up with the escalating demand."

"The Little Red Grape continues to see an increase in customers and our reputation resulting from the Aussie Pie competition. Our Sausage Roll award has featured well in local and metro media channels. We look and listen to each comment, making small changes each year. The bar is certainly continuing to climb. We love networking and chatting with the other competitors and have generated great relationships with so many businesses around the states. Staying at the top in any winning category is the trick and key."
