After stuffing our faces full of delicious seafood, we decided what better end to a great day out in St. Andrews, than with some delicious baked goods from a local bakery.
We walked in and were greeted by a wonderful display of baked goods for our choosing. I immediately knew what I was getting after seeing the case of empire biscuits or what they called Belgian biscuits. My mom went for a gingerbread man cookie and the boyfriend went for a fruit slice with lemon frosting.
My biscuit was delicious as empire biscuits almost always are, but my mom wasn't a fan of her rather hard gingerbread man cookie. She said it was really hard to bite in to it was so hard, and didn't eat much of it. I tried the fruit slice, and it was interesting. The boyfriend mentioned it's much better with vanilla frosting, the lemon frosting didn't do much for it.
There were loads of things to purchase, including whole cakes and savoury goods. Also, some weird 24 bakery machine, which I was curious about but didn't try out. I'd be in trouble if that machine was anywhere near where I live. Thankfully it's here, in St. Andrews.
I might be tempted to stop here again if in the area, but if there's another local bakery, I would definitely check them out to see how they differ. read more
