From our world-famous Apple Strudel to irresistible Italian classics, choosing from our wide range of delicious pastry offerings can be delightfully challenging, as you’ll likely be tempted to take one of everything.

To make things a little easier, here are the Top 5 Pastries you should definitely try on your next visit to Corica Pastries.

1. Apple Strudel: Our World-Famous Signature

A must-try when visiting Corica Pastries, our Apple Strudel is renowned across Perth and beyond. Baked fresh every day, this iconic dessert has become the emblem of Corica Pastries and has most certainly earned its place as the must-try sweet treat.

Our Apple Strudel is made with layers of golden, flaky puff pastry filled generously with freshly cooked apples, silky Italian custard and fresh whipped cream. Each strudel is carefully made and assembled to perfection, creating a beautiful balance of crisp, flaky pastry and decadent fillings that melt in your mouth.

Steeped in tradition, this is a dessert that has been shared at family tables, birthday celebrations and Sunday afternoons for decades. Whether enjoyed warm with a cup of coffee or served as a show-stopping dessert for guests, the Apple Strudel is more than just a pastry; it’s a tradition, it’s moments shared with loved ones, it’s a sweet piece of love. 

2. Blueberry & Apple Strudel, A Fruity Twist on a Classic

With a love so strong for our traditional Apple Strudel, we decided a few years later to give it a new expression, and our Blueberry & Apple Strudel was born.

Made with the same delicate layers of flaky puff pastry and luscious custard, this variation brings a fresh twist to the original recipe. We gently fold ripe blueberries into our signature apple filling, adding a vibrant burst of flavour and a subtle tartness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the apples.

The result is a strudel that feels both familiar and exciting, a lighter, fruit-forward alternative that still honours the classic flavours our customers know and love. If you’re already a fan of our traditional Apple Strudel, we have no doubt you’ll fall in love with this delicious variation too.

3. Continental Torta: A European Classic

Elegant, rich and beautifully balanced, our Continental Torta is a shining example of European-inspired baking at its finest. 

With origins in Italy, our version of the torta features delicate layers of sponge, smooth custard, moka buttercream and liqueur, assembled with precision and care.

Versatile and timeless, the Continental Torta is light enough to enjoy after a meal, yet indulgent enough to feel like a true celebration cake. Every slice delivers soft textures and subtle sweetness, making it a favourite for birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions.

Like all our cakes, the Continental Torta is made fresh using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations, a true reflection of Corica Pastries’ dedication to authenticity and quality.

4. Croque-Em-Bouche: A Masterpiece

For those moments when only something truly spectacular will do, the Croque-Em-Bouche is the ultimate centrepiece. This classic French dessert is a tower of crisp choux pastry puffs coated in toffee or chocolate, and filled with our homemade custard, and finished off with fresh cream and decorations! 

At Corica Pastries, our Croque-Em-Bouche is handcrafted with incredible attention to detail, making it just as stunning to admire as it is to enjoy. Whether you choose chocolate or toffee, each bite delivers a beautiful contrast of crunchy coating, light choux pastry and smooth custard, a combination that never fails to impress.Perfect for weddings, celebrations or special gatherings, the Croque Em Bouche is a testament to our pastry chefs’ skill and passion. And if a full Croque-Em-Bouche feels a little too indulgent for your current craving, our Profiteroles or Puffs offer a wonderful introduction to the flavours and textures you can expect from this iconic dessert.

5. Sicilian Cannoli & Traditional Italian Pastries

Corica Pastries’ roots originate in Italy, and our love for baking is deeply inspired by this rich Italian heritage. As a tribute to the European traditions we hold close to our hearts, our pastry range proudly features a selection of classic Italian-inspired favourites such as our much-loved Sicilian Cannoli.

Each cannoli is made with a crisp pastry shell, filled generously with smooth, in-house made custard or ricotta. Simple, elegant and deeply satisfying, cannoli perfectly embody the Italian philosophy of letting quality ingredients and time-honoured techniques shine.

Alongside our cannoli, our pastry counter often showcases an assortment of traditional Italian delights such as Amore, Cantucci, and Paste Secche. These smaller pastries and biscuits are ideal for an afternoon treat, a leisurely tea time, or when you’re simply craving a little taste of Italy.
