You can smell it before you see it. Fruit mince pies are back in the ovens, which means one thing: Christmas has officially landed at Bourke Street Bakery.
This year we’ve done two things. We’ve brought back the classics you keep asking about, and we’ve added a few new treats we reckon will earn a spot on your table too.
Everything is made by hand, in small batches, across our bakeries. Here’s what’s on the shelves.
New This Christmas
Christmas Trifle – Limoncello sponge, vanilla custard, mango and raspberries. Serves 10.
Christmas Yule Log – Dark chocolate, cocoa sponge and vanilla cream. Serves 10.
Original Butter Shortbread – Coppertree Farms butter. Short, crumbly, not too sweet.
Cranberry & Pistachio Shortbread – Our butter shortbread with cranberries, roasted pistachios and white chocolate.
Apple & Cranberry Chutney – Slow-cooked with onion, ginger and cinnamon. Made for the ham, the cheese board and the Boxing Day sanga. Limited run.
Gingerbread Dough – Bake and decorate your own BSB gingerbread at home.
The Classics Are Back
Fruit Mince Pies – Australian butter shortcrust, spiced apple and brandy-soaked fruit. Fresh, or frozen to bake at home.
Gingerbread People – Made for little hands and a hot chocolate.
Panforte – Chocolate, roasted almonds, pistachios, figs, honey and spice. Slice it thin.
Almond & Chocolate Amaretti – Soft and chewy, with a crisp outside.
Rocky Road – Chocolate, marshmallows, jubes and peanuts.
Brandy Butter – Copper Tree Farm butter whipped with brandy. Made once a year.
Christmas Hampers
Big Christmas Hamper – Our festive favourites in one box: mince pies, gingerbread, panforte, shortbread, amaretti, rocky road, chutney and coffee.
Bonanza Hamper – Everything above, plus a full BSB pantry and a Tall Trees apron.
Stocking Stuffers – Smaller gift boxes for everyone else on the list.
Hampers are collected Tuesday to Saturday. Order by 3pm for next-day collection.
Final Orders
The full Christmas range is in our bakeries and online from today. Hosting a crowd? Pre-order online and we’ll have it ready to go.
Last orders for Christmas will need to be in by 3pm 21st December.
Merry Christmas from all of us at Bourke Street Bakery.
