You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse''' is a family owned and operated bakery business based in [[Melbourne]], Australia.  The business began as two separate entities (Ferguson's Cakes and Plarre's Cakes) with the families coming together to form Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses in 1980. Ferguson Plarre now has 86 stores across Victoria. In 2012, members of the Plarre family bought out the Ferguson's stake and the business remains owned and operated by the Plarre family with Steve Plarre as CEO. There are only a small number of company owned stores now as the majority of stores are run by franchisees.  <ref name="Exited">[http://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2013/11/7/family-business/you-cant-unbake-business "You can't unbake a business"] by Alan Kohler, ''[[The Age]]'', 7 November 2013. Retrieved 7 November 2013.</ref>

The bakery's family history has links to many of Melbourne's culinary institutions (such as Jimmy Watsons).  One of its best-known outlets is in Melbourne's [[Queen Victoria Market]], where locals have purchased the bakery's cakes and pastries for decades.

Ferguson Plarre has won over 100 awards for its baked goods including a gold medal in the Official Great Aussie Pastie Competition 2016 for their [[Pasty|Traditional Steak & Potato Tiddly Oggie]], "Australia's Champion Dairy Dessert" as judged at the Australian Grand Dairy Awards ([[Dairy Industry Association of Australia|Chocolate Moussecake]]). Overall Cake and Pastry winner at the Victorian Baking Industry Awards as judged by BIAV.<ref>[http://www.baking.com.au/ BIAV]</ref>

In addition to these awards Ferguson Plarre has been recognised for its response to climate change through sustainable baking and business practices.  In 2007 the bakery opened its [[environmentally friendly]] central baking facility in Keilor Park.  There, the tier 1 and 2 emissions from every good baked is [[carbon offset]].  This offset is achieved by the planting of trees as part of the Ferguson Plarre Forest.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120116131033/http://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History/Greenhouse-Challenge.html Ferguson Plarre Forest]</ref>  2009 saw Ferguson Plarre's environmental action rewarded with the Origin Gold Banksia Award<ref>[http://www.banksiafdn.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58:the-gold-award&catid=42:current-awards&Itemid=79 Origin Gold Banksia Award]</ref> for excellence in sustainability.

More recently the brand introduced a vegan pastry range to meet the demands of the Australian Customer. In 2021, Plarre Foods also began to sell a range of frozen pies and pastries in supermarkets under the Pie Society brand.<ref>((Cite web |date=2021-06-28 |title=Plarre Foods launches supermarket pie range |url=https://executive.franchisebusiness.com.au/plarre-foods-launches-supermarket-pie-range/ |access-date=2022-07-04 |website=Inside Franchise Business|df=dmy-all))</ref>

__TOC__
== History ==
Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses is a family owned and operated business. The Fergusons commenced their bakery business in 1901 and the Plarres in 1911.  Both businesses focused mostly in the Northern and Western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. After decades as separate businesses they merged in 1980 to become 'Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses'. The Ferguson family exited the business in 2012 and Plarre family members now run it.<ref name="Exited" /><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History.html|title=History - A recipe for success with cakes, savouries & more|publisher=Fergusonplarre.com.au|df=dmy-all|accessdate=2012-01-20|archive-date=18 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100618062631/http://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History.html|url-status=dead))</ref>

== The Tiddly Oggie ==
Ferguson Plarre introduced their version of a Cornish [[Pasty]] in the early 1990s and named it the Tiddly Oggie, a Cornish phrase for a proper pasty.

== Sustainability ==
Ferguson Plarre supports sustainable business practices. This has influenced the design and construction of a sustainable central baking facility in Keilor Park where 100% of their tier 1 and 2 carbon emissions are offset through tree planting. In addition to their sustainable baking facility, Ferguson Plarre has planted trees to offset greenhouse gas emissions at Mt Worth which is in Victoria, Australia, 15&nbsp;km south of Warragul. All suppliers to Ferguson Plarre must meet minimum sustainability requirements as established through the company's [https://web.archive.org/web/20120116131033/http://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History/Greenhouse-Challenge.html Sustainable Purchasing Questionnaire].<ref name="fergusonplarre">((cite web|url = http://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History/Greenhouse-Challenge.html|title = Greenhouse Challenge|publisher = Fergusonplarre.com.au|df=dmy-all|access-date = 2012-01-20|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120116131033/http://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History/Greenhouse-Challenge.html|archive-date = 16 January 2012|url-status = dead))</ref>
