Christmas in Melbourne is a wonderful time of year. The calendars fill up, the social invitations roll in, the kids finish school, and suddenly you're expected to organise a Christmas party, attend three family catch-ups, bring a plate to a work function and somehow keep the house looking presentable.
Oh, and you're supposed to enjoy yourself, too!
If your silly season is starting to look a little too silly, Genie's Bakery is here to help. Our homemade savoury pastries and sweet treats make entertaining easier, leaving you with less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the festive season.
Because let's be honest: there's enough to organise at Christmas without making 48 mini sausage rolls yourself.
Christmas Catering in Melbourne Made Easy
Whether you're hosting a work Christmas party, planning a family gathering or organising festive drinks with friends, good food is an essential part of the occasion.
But preparing everything from scratch? That's another story.
At Genie's Bakery, we offer custom catering orders to help make your Christmas entertaining a little less stressful. From savoury pastries to bite-sized sweets, we can help you put together a delicious spread for your next festive get-together.
Our catering options are perfect for:
-
Work Christmas parties and office morning teas
-
Family Christmas gatherings and festive lunches
-
End-of-year celebrations and school break-ups
-
Christmas drinks and neighbourhood catch-ups
-
Summer BBQs and casual entertaining
You organise the guest list. We'll help with the food.
Savoury Pastries Everyone Will Love
There's a reason savoury pastries are a favourite at parties. They're easy to serve, simple to enjoy and perfect for feeding a hungry crowd.
Our range of savoury goodies includes party pies, mini sausage rolls and quiches, making them ideal for Christmas catering, office functions and family celebrations.
Whether you're after a few crowd-pleasing favourites or a selection of savoury bites for a larger gathering, get in touch to discuss a custom catering order to suit your occasion.
And if you're hosting at home, don't forget that our savoury pastry packs are also handy to have on hand for easy meals during the busy festive season.
Something Sweet for the Silly Season
No festive spread is complete without something sweet.
Our homemade brownies and cinnamon scrolls are perfect for adding a little sweetness to your Christmas celebrations. Serve them at your next gathering, bring them along to a festive catch-up or keep a few aside for that well-deserved afternoon coffee.
Because Christmas calories are a problem for January, December is for enjoying yourself.
Our sweet treats are a delicious addition to your Christmas entertaining, whether you're putting together a dessert table or simply want something tasty to share with family and friends.
Planning a Smaller Christmas Gathering?
Not every festive occasion needs a full catering spread.
Sometimes you just need something delicious to take to a friend's place, a few treats for unexpected visitors or an easy option for feeding the family between Christmas shopping trips.
Our savoury pastry packs and sweet treats are perfect for those occasions when you want homemade goodness without having to do all the baking yourself.
Think less time preparing food, fewer dishes to wash and more time enjoying the people around you.
Sounds like a pretty good Christmas plan to us.
Support a Local Melbourne Bakery This Christmas
Genie's Bakery is a small, family-run home bakery based in Cheltenham, baking homemade savoury pastries and sweet treats for customers across Melbourne and parts of the Mornington Peninsula.
Every order supports a small local business, and we love being part of your family gatherings, celebrations and everyday moments.
When you order from Genie's Bakery, you're helping a small business keep doing what it loves: making delicious food for the people who matter most.
And we reckon that's something worth celebrating.
