Hi Everyone,
I love the Bakeshop at the William Angliss Institute for foods, tourism and hospitality. If you live in Melbourne, this is one of the best places to buy cakes, pastries and bread at an amazing price. These are made by the Patisserie and Bakery students of the William Angliss and sold at the small Bakeshop on campus. I'm surprised that many people in Melbourne have not heard of this place when I mention it to them.
Here is a photo of what I bought today - a box of freshly-made pavlovas and pastries. These are made by cookery students so the shapes are not always consistent or perfect, but the taste is usually good, with fairly good quality ingredients used.
Pavlovas and Pastries

Fresh real cream, meringue with fine yet firm texture

If you have a long way to travel to get there, it is a good idea to ring up the Bakeshop to check what their stock is for that day. What they sell depends on whether, and what, the students are baking that day. Here are other photos taken at the Bakeshop today.

I didn't take a photo of this but there is also a small counter selling meat cuts prepared by students in the Meat Processing (Butchery) course.
Where is the Bakeshop?

ReplyDeleteHi Anon, hope you do get a chance to go there. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that they have a large stock of goodies when you are there. It was like Aladdin's cave yesterday! But it is not the same everyday ... sometimes the shelves may be bare ... it all depends on when and what the students cook up. Cheers!
Products are made by the Patisserie students not the Cookery students :P
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have fixed that up and removed 'Cookery Students' from the making of cakes, pastries and bread. Sorry, Cookery students! But you still get a mention on the William Angliss website which says:
DeleteBakeshop
One of our best kept secrets, the Bakeshop is the place to go to for delicious products at bargain prices. Students from Bakery, Meat Processing, Cookery and Patisserie all prepare products for the Bakeshop.
This means there's a variety of options available from fresh sandwiches, pre-prepared meals and sweet treats to cold drinks, loaves of bread and meat cuts.
