Christmas is the perfect occasion to take the time to source festive season artisan made baked goods, all while supporting local bakers, providores and the growers who often produce the grain, eggs and fruit that make these traditional Christmas treats so delicious.

Mother Mary Bakes is a one woman show, a micro bakery that uses quality ingredients, opting for organic and local produce where possible. You can find her Christmas puddings and mince tarts in local providores like Torello Farm and Hawkes Farm or you can order online. Mother Mary’s fruit mince tarts are a crowd favourite…

 “Made of organic dried fruits and spices, plumped with local fortified Shiraz, citrus and apples all wrapped up in a soft style pastry made from local wheat and eggs. Handmade from woe to go.” 

You can find handcrafted German Christmas creations at Butterken Bakery, including iced cinnamon stars and the traditional Stollen.

“This fruit loaf is made of organic flour and is packed with butter, Australian fruit and nuts, candied peel and spices. Coated with melted butter and icing sugar for the ultimate festive treat.”

For Stollen and other Christmas baked goods, place your order online or head into the Mt Eliza bakery.
