The story of the Corica apple strudel.
First baked in Perth in 1957, and made to the same recipe today.
Since1957
Introduced to Perth in 1957.
Our apple strudel was first introduced to Perth in 1957 by Sicilian patissier Giuseppe Corica. People have been coming to us for it ever since, from all over Perth and from much further away.
Many of them are marking an occasion. Christenings, engagements, birthdays and weddings have all been celebrated with a Corica strudel on the table.
Since 1957, our apple strudel has remained true to its original recipe.
It is still made by hand, fresh every day, at our shop on Aberdeen Street in Northbridge. More about Corica Pastries
What makes it different.
A traditional apple strudel is baked whole, with custard or cream served on the side. Ours follows an Italian recipe: each part is prepared on its own, and the custard and cream go inside the pastry.
Puff pastry
Flaky, buttery puff pastry gives the strudel its crunch, against the soft fillings inside.
Italian custard
Made by hand in our own kitchen and spread over the pastry.
Baked apple
A layer of freshly baked apple goes on top of the custard.
Fresh cream
Whipped cream is piped over the apple in ribbons to finish the layer.
Then it is all repeated for a second layer, and the strudel is topped with a final sheet of puff pastry.
Apple, or blueberry and apple.
The Blueberry & Apple Strudel is made the same way, with the same pastry, custard and cream, and with blueberries alongside the apple. It suits anyone who would like to try a variation, or who prefers something a little more tart.
Both come in two sizes: the full strudel, which suits a group, and a half size for two.
A strudel that travels.
Plenty of our strudels leave Perth on a plane. A strudel is a great flying companion, as long as it is hand carried, kept upright and refrigerated before and after the flight.
Each one comes in its own sturdy box. If you are buying several, you can also purchase a carry box or a reusable bag that fits six.
