Finger buns are a childhood favourite that evoke memories of treats from the canteen or a quick trip to the bakery after school.
And now travel company Wotif has anointed a Sydney bakery with the “yummiest” bun in Australia.
The team at Humble Bakery faced stiff competition from bakeries across the country but came out on top in Wotif’s Uniquely Aussie Awards, 2024, winning their Best Sweet Bun prize.
The Surry Hills bakery won over judges with their not-so-humble bun filled with dried fruits, gourmet butter and topped with pink, cream cheese icing.
The bakery shared their delight on social media and were honoured to win an award that shone a “light on things” that were “iconic to Australians.”
“Our finger bun is a fresh take on the old classic, made with top-quality ingredients and a generous slab of butter,” they wrote on Instagram.
“We wanted to bring back the nostalgic joy of getting a finger bun from a small-town or local bakery when you were a kid.”
