A PIPING hot meat pie is one of Melbourne’s favourite winter treats and there’s plenty of places you can find them.

But where can you find the best?

Two Melbourne bakehouses — Ka Pies Bakehouse in Sunshine and the Dromana’s Soulsa Katering and Kafe — put up pretty good cases.

Ka Pies co-owners and friends Doug Meijer and Adrian Apswoude have started an em-pie-re in Melbourne’s west, with their delicious pies receiving a silver medal and four bronzes at this year’s Australia’s Best Pie Comp, conducted by the Baking Association of Australia.

Business is booming for Ka Pies, with their pies selling at 30 locations across Victoria.

Mr Apswoude said people travelled from near and far to buy a Ka pie — even from Echuca.

“The best thing has been our customers, people who say things like, ‘I’m not a pie person but I love your pies’ or who ring up out of the blue to say, ‘Your pies taste awesome’,” he said.

Meanwhile Katie Bryant, owner of Soulsa Katering and Kafe, is delighting tastebuds with her gourmet pies down south on the Mornington Peninsula.

So much so visitors to a recent Pinot and Pies event at Stonier Winery in Mornington devoured 300 of them in less than three hours.

The chicken and brie is a favourite with both critics and consumers.

In 2010-11 it won a bronze at the Great Aussie Pie Competition.

“I have six bronzes across two years of competition,” Ms Bryant said.
