Kim O’KEEFFE (Shepparton) (10:28): I rise today to congratulate Matt Aylett and his team at North End Bakehouse Shepparton, who have been awarded Australia’s best vanilla slice and hot cross bun at the 2024 Baking Association of Australia awards. This is not the first time North End Bakehouse has won these awards, previously winning Australia’s best cross bun in 2021 and 2022 and best vanilla slice in 2023. However, this is the first time a bakery has won both titles, the best hot cross bun and vanilla slice, at the awards. What a fantastic achievement. From humble beginnings back in 2014 with just three staff, the bakery has flourished and now employs 12 staff and is embarking on opening a second bakery in Mooroopna in April. People are flocking from near and far to taste Australia’s best cross buns and vanilla slices, and I encourage you to come to my electorate and do just that. Well done to Matt, Shekiah and their wonderful team.
