About Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes

Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes serves acclaimed bakes encased in thin, structural pastry that never yields to soggy bottoms. Road-trippers and coastal day-trippers queue along Hesse Street for the Jumbo Chunky Steak—a heavy payload of tender, peppered beef bound in rich gravy—or the earthy mushroom and truffle pie. Longtime regulars lean toward the classic sausage rolls or snag a raspberry jam vanilla slice with flat whites for a proper smoko. Savory orders come standard with complimentary tomato sauce sachets, making it an effortless pit stop whether heading off the Sorrento ferry or pulling up roadside.

  • Structural Pastry: Thin, crusty shells hold up to hefty meat and vegetarian fillings without collapsing.
  • Jumbo Chunky Steak: Prized for its slow-cooked, tender beef chunks suspended in rich gravy.
  • Mushroom & Truffle: Savory competition standout loaded with deep, earthy umami.
  • Sweet Counter & Smoko: Classic vanilla slices and flaky pastry snacks round out the road-trip menu.

  • Complimentary Sauce Sachets

    Unlike bakeries that charge extra fees at the register, every savory pie order comes accompanied with complimentary sauce packets.

    Our pies were perfect as they had tasty fillings & weren't soggy. And you get free tomato sauce sachet.

    When we were in Oz we went to a lot of places and this was my favorite. The vanilla slice was the best.
