What people are saying about the Official Great Aussie Pie Competition
“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!”
Gary Thompson | The Squealing Pig, Burpengary QLD
“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!”
Gourmet Seafood Pie Winner – Helena Panasewycz | Wickedly Delicious Patisserie, Monbulk VIC
“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.”
Plain Meat Pie Winner – Andy Le | Four Seasons Patisserie, Kelmscott/Byford WA
“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.”
