The BEST pie in Aotearoa revealed!

A great pie? Say less.

To make your pie experience even better, you want to tuck into the tastiest pie out there & last night's 25th Bakels NZ Supreme Pie Award found out just that.

Bay of Plenty baker Patrick Lam, of Patrick’s Pies Gold Star Bakery, has reigned supreme again as a champion piemaker (for the eighth time) - but this year with something a bit different- a Roast Duck, Onion & Mushroom creation.

NZ Bakels managing director, Brent Kersel said each time Lam had won there had been different judges.

“It just goes to show that if you present a stunning pie that ticks all the boxes and outshines every other pie, the judges are going to choose it.
