I was chatting with Adelaide-based workmates this week about the 2025 South Australian Baking…read moreAward-winning vanilla slice from The Village Baker. When I looked at the website, I saw they also had a passionfruit icing option. I am a fan of passionfruit icing. My dream icing is pink passionfruit icing, but I've only seen homemade vanilla slices with pink passionfruit icing. When I arrived, I saw in the display that the "standard" vanilla slice was the award winner. In my mind, I needed to buy both versions and eat them. Both vanilla slices are superb. The pastry wasn't soggy. The custard was delightfully creamy and smooth with a vanilla flavour without being too sweet. The standard icing is okay. It's a bit thick for me and a bit too sweet. The passionfruit fudge icing, on the other hand, is fantastic. I love anything sweet and tart. Tarty sweetness makes my lips tingle and "sing". The passionfruit fudge is thick, but it doesn't "feel" thick in my mouth, and it's great to crunch the passionfruit seeds between my teeth. I ate the standard vanilla slice first because I wanted to finish with the tartness of the passionfruit fudge icing. I can appreciate why The Village Baker's standard vanilla slice won this year's baking award. I prefer their passionfruit fudge vanilla slice.

A HIDDEN GEM ON SOUTH ROAD…read more WOW! That's all I can really say.. My wife introduced me to this great little bakery a few months ago, and it's now become a weekend regular. Pulling into the little shopping centre in Blackforest, the place doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. This place is a hidden gem. They have a great selection of gourmet pies, pasties and sausage rolls. Beef and Bacon Pie! Amazing.. :) Also there selection of pastries and cakes are brilliant, and after walking in there today to find that they now sell CRONUTS! Sweet! :) This is a working Bakery and it is always packed, they are constantly refilling there pie warmer as they always sell out quick, so no day old footy pies here.. I would highly recommend this place next time your in the neighbourhood. :)

So we went... because, by golly you can't ignore a Royal Show blue ribbon! Located in the Forbes shopping centre the shop is neatly tucked away behind a large blind reading 'Bite me Bakery' which quite appealed, as I don't mind a good directive. At least I know what's expected of me... nice to be clear and pun-tastic all at once. . Strangely... (given the non-meatyness of it) my favourite thing so far has been the Veg Pastie because the pastry is just right, delicious flaky and buttery. They had an extensive assortment of cakes, covering the standard bakery fare and the aforementioned friend swears by the raspberry lamingtons and mini jam tarts. The bread is a little ho-hum, but still tops the other nearby offerings.

Below is a link to their retail factory outlet which lists their available products at different times of the year. http://www.kytonsbakery.com.au/factory.php I guess Kytons are best known for their fundraising lamington drives. They would have to make the best lamingtons ever, and in fact have won many awards for them. In addition to this they have a great range of choc chip kookies (meant to be spelt that way), hot cross buns in the lead up to easter (also award winning) and nut slices, including a to die for Apricot Macadamia Slice, as well as apple and apricot pies and my favourite, macadamia and white chocolate bites. In winter they also sell family meat pies, cheese, bacon and beef pies, smaller party pie and roll varieties as well as some yummy sweet stuff like their chocolate self saucing pudding. At Xmas time the variety is even better on the menu. You have to check it out. And with their retail factory outlet it is literally open to anyone all year round. So although it's agreat fundraiser for any organisation and I would always buy them when anyone I know has them for fundraising but why not enjoy a visit to the factory and buy some at other times of the year. They're too good to just wait until someone is fundraising.

From the owner: Kytons has been Adelaide owned and baking for South Australians since 1938.read more

You'll find your usual pies, cakes slices, pastries and other desserts here…read more Nothing much to shout about other than it doesn't get too crowded, so you have plenty of time to grab a drink from the cooler and scan the pastries or slices.

Hmmm, me thinks there was something in the air that fateful night. Baked goods such as bread, pastries, cakes, sausage rolls, pies, pasties are all on display. I had a sausage roll which was the hottest I've ever had from anywhere else, the rest are always lukewarm but at least can be eaten quickly. And yes it was tasty. They also serve coffee which was good and it is the cheapest I've seen in my travels. The pie warmer cabinet contents range in price from $3.10 for a sausage roll to $4.50 for a Steak and Guinness Pie, so there's a range of goodies in between according to your taste and if you prefer meat or vegetarian. The sweets display is also well priced and there's a big range to choose from, they also take special orders. By the way...the shop opens at 5.30am if you're really keen!
