Sydney’s rich culinary heritage has long been a source of pride, with its diverse offerings earning acclaim both locally and nationally. From the savory delights of iconic meat pies to the crispy perfection of pub schnitzels, the city’s gastronomic prowess is undeniable. Yet, amidst this savory splendor, it’s a humble sweet treat that has captured the nation’s heart—a finger bun, born in Sydney, that has now been hailed as the finest in all of Australia.
Sydney’s Culinary Excellence: A Sweet Victory
Sydney’s gastronomic landscape is rich with accolades, boasting everything from our iconic meat pies to the golden schnitzels served in local pubs. While savory dishes often take center stage, there’s an undeniable charm in a sweet treat that stirs memories of simpler times.
The classic Aussie finger bun, a staple in our bakeries for decades, has now received the ultimate recognition—a Sydney-born creation has been crowned the best in the nation.
Wotif’s Quintessentially Australian Awards
Annually, Wotif, a leading Australian travel platform, curates a list celebrating the most quintessentially Australian experiences and treats from across the country. This year, in the highly coveted finger bun category, a Sydney-made delicacy has risen to the top.
To determine the finest of these uniquely Australian offerings, Wotif surveyed 1,048 adults who cast their votes for the finalists. The result? Humble’s finger bun emerged as the undisputed champion.
The Cult Status of Humble Bakery’s Finger Bun
This airy, fluffy finger bun from Sydney’s Humble Bakery quickly gained a devoted following from the moment it was introduced. Its Instagram-worthy appearance is just the beginning; the flavor profile is what truly sets it apart.
The Wotif judging panel praised the bun’s carefully selected ingredients—tart cranberries, golden raisins, and currants—complemented by a generous layer of locally sourced butter from CopperTree Farm.
The crowning touch is a delicate pink cream cheese frosting. As devoted fans of Humble Bakery, we couldn’t agree more with this well-deserved accolade.
