A SCOTTISH bakery has won a prestigious award for the world’s best newcomer.
La Liste's Pastry Awards 2024 recognised 25 patisseries and bakeries within 10 special categories, from most creative chef to discovery gem.
Lannan Bakery, which is in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge area, was one of the winners of the Pastry Opening of the Year Award. The shop’s signature bakes include a Lannan apple pie and custard and a rhubarb, custard and almond cake.
Owner Darcie Maher told The Scotsman: “Having been open from less than a year, it’s an honour to receive the award from La Liste for best pastry opening of the year.
“My life long dream has been to own my own bakery and Lannan has surpassed anything I imagined it would be.
“To have the recognition cements all the relentless hard work that’s gone into every aspect of the bakery up until this point.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
