On 28th March in Dunfermline, Scottish Bakers, the association that represents bakers across Scotland, took delivery of some 850 of the nation’s best morning rolls, scones, individual cakes, savouries, biscuits, breads and new category, celebration cakes, for a day of judging.
All candidates were scored on appearance, freshness and taste by a panel of some 50 industry experts lead by Head Judge Robert Ross.
The judges whittled the entries down into the “best of the best” with the results set to be announced on May 5.
