From the traditional to the more creative options, bakers are celebrating Aussie food culture this January ahead of Tuesday’s public holiday.
Like all other nations, Australia has a distinct and specific range of foods that punctuate our daily lives. Ahead of the public holiday on January 26, bakers have been proudly displaying their creations, from traditional lamingtons to more creative pie and sweet fillings which show that everyone has a different idea of what it means to be Australian.
Here are just a few of the glorious products to grace our social media feeds in the past few days:
Iced VoVo Eclairs and Tim Tam Cheesecake
Flour & Chocolate in Brisbane are celebrating the preferred supermarket aisle of Aussies – the biscuit aisle – with these Tim Tam Cheesecakes and Iced VoVo eclairs!

Vegemite Lamingtons
This sounds like a rather bold combination, but don’t knock it ’til you try it! Snow White Bakery in Melbourne say the vegemite gives these lamingtons a “salted dark chocolate flavour”.

XXXX Gold Cruffins
Sorry, what? We said the Sausage Sizzle Pie was the most Aussie thing ever, but Fuel Bakehouse might have pipped them at the post with a XXXX Gold – yes, the beer – cruffin. Filled with mango coulis, these don’t actually contain beer. QUEENSLAND.
