Black Star Pastry Has Joined Forces with South Dowling Sandwiches to Create a Limited-Edition Pie
Pie lovers won’t want to miss this French-style creation shaped by a one-two punch of culinary talent.
There's no doubt that Black Star Pastry is best known for its sweet creations. After all, its claim to fame is being the creator of the world's most Instagrammed cake: the iconic Strawberry Watermelon Cake. However, for their latest trick, they've stepped further into the savoury realm by teaming up with local institution South Dowling Sandwiches on a limited-edition pie.
Fusing the culinary talents of both establishments to create a pie that mixes and matches diverse flavours and textures, shaping this pithivier-style pie also requires a rather dedicated approach and refined skillset. Inside this domed delight, South Dowling Sandwiches has whipped up a winter-warming blend of caramelised carrots, spicy chilli chicken and vibrant red pesto.
Enveloped in a flaky, buttery pastry shell, plenty of precision, finesse and attention to detail are needed to achieve the ideal rise and shape. Fortunately, you couldn't ask for a more experienced team than this esteemed partnership when it comes to assembling complex pastries. And the results speak for themselves, as this savoury delight resonates with just a little fanciness.
While Black Star Pastry has taken the world by storm with its viral sensations, South Dowling Sandwiches is a slightly more down-to-earth affair. Serving stacked sarnies across Sydney for the past 15 years, this proudly family-run outfit has attracted a steadfast local following thanks to its signature caramelised carrots.
Ready to taste? This limited-edition pie is up for grabs at selected Black Star Pastry locations — Newtown, Rosebery, Sydney CBD, Chatswood and Parramatta — and at all South Dowling Sandwiches locations — Darlinghurst, Alexandria and Millers Point. Available from Thursday, May 22–Sunday, June 1, you've got plenty of places to visit when craving this French-style crust.
Just know, quantities are limited, so it's a good idea to get in early. For those who are really prepared, you can place a pre-order for two or four packs on the Black Star Pastry website, with pickup available at any location.
