Paradise Bakery from Bundaberg, Queensland, have taken home the title of The Official Great Aussie Pie Competition.

Announced on September 11 after four grueling days of judging, the regional bakery claimed top spot with their Plain Mince Pie.

The Piefather from Rosebery in NSW was named as runner-up in the Plain Pie Category, and Mt Barket Country Bakehouse from Western Australia took out the Gourmet Pie category for their Beef Bourguignon pie.

Adelaide’s Banana Boogie Bakery continued their winning streak by taking home the gong for their Plain Sausage Roll, while Samuel Gee’s Pie & Pastries in Balaclava, NSW, won the Gourmet Sausage Roll title . Miami Bakehouse from Greenfields in Western Australia rounded out the major category winners after they claimed the Meat Pastie ribbon.

The newest addition to the 2025 competition lineup – the Official Grand Champion Prize, which would be awarded to the bakery that won both the Overall Plain Pie and Sausage Roll categories – was left unclaimed.
