Sydney, Nov 12: It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas at Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse with the much-loved festive tart range making its seasonal return, featuring flavors like classic fruit mince, zesty lemon, and chocolate caramel. With fresh takes on traditional holiday favorites in bite-sized, star-topped shells, these tarts are ideal for entertaining and gifting, especially for those seeking affordable indulgences. Ferguson Plarre CEO Steve Plarre shared that the bakery’s team is already preparing for the Christmas rush, with this year’s selection of tarts expected to be a highlight alongside other holiday treats, including gingerbread houses, Christmas cookies, puddings, and cakes. “I’m sure it is no surprise that Christmas is our favorite time of year at Ferguson Plarre. We love to help people celebrate the holidays with delicious sweet treats, tarts, and cakes direct from our family to theirs,” Plarre said. “Some of our Christmas recipes have been perfected and handed down through four generations of Plarre bakers, and in the spirit of Christmas, it’s only fitting that we share these classic creations with our loyal customers.” “Whether it is for the perfect plate to bring to Christmas lunch with the family, gifts for work and school events, or a stocking stuffer for the kids, tarts are sure to make you the star of Christmas lunch this year and put a smile on everyone’s face.”

“Last week, I had my first taste of Ferguson Plarre’s baked goods during a short break in Melbourne. This exclusive Melbourne-based bakery serves some of the best cakes and sponges. While some of the pies were a tad sweet for my taste, they would be the perfect pairing with plain black tea or coffee without sugar.”
