A good baker is like a good pal - you might not find them too often, but once you do, you know you'll be together for life - and there are plenty of good bakers just looking for new pals here in Glasgow.
We wanted to find the very best bakers from all around Glasgow that offer all kind of baked goods - whether they be their own takes on old Scottish classics, or entirely new revolutionary sugary ideas that take inspiration from all across the world.
There's times when you can't stop thinking about a certain pastry or cake - there'll be times we'll be sitting in the office writing up news stories when all we really want to be doing is scranning an empire biscuit. We know all to well though that a bad pastry can do more than just ruin your day though, it can put you off your sweet of choice for a long while after the fact - and we don't want that do we?
