A Greerton Bakery has scooped three awards at this year's pie awards.

Baker Bobs Bakery and Café have won two silvers and bronze at the 24th Bakels NZ Supreme Pie Awards.

Bakery owners Mony Rath Chhoeuy and Geemun Chao are proud of their efforts, despite not wining gold like they have done in previous years.

The husband and wife team have four gold medals to their name.

It is the first year they have won a silver for their vegetarian pie, in previous years they've won bronze.

The secret was adding cranberry sauce and camembert to the spinach, pumpkin, kumara, pie, says Mony.

'We feel extremely happy, we weren't expecting a silver.”

They have also won a sliver for their steak, mushroom and cheese pie and a bronze for the steak and cheese.

Mony says part of their success is because they focus on quality ingredients and love cooking.

The couple have entered every year since 2008 and have owned Baker Bobs for six years.

They previously owned a bakery in Taupo.
