Get ready to embark on a mouthwatering journey with us because things are about to get deliciously adventurous! We're Emily, Sarah, and Liam – three University of Edinburgh students with a shared passion for pastries that goes beyond the occasional study break snack. While most students spend their days off catching up on sleep or hitting the pubs, we'll be hitting the road, exploring the charming towns and cities of Scotland in search of the most mouthwatering baked goods.

Think buttery shortbread melting in your mouth in a quaint Highland village, flaky croissants fresh from the oven in a bustling Edinburgh bakery, and maybe even a legendary Dundee cake or two along the way.

But first, let us introduce ourselves properly. Emily, a literature student with a nose for adventure (and freshly baked bread!), possesses an uncanny ability to sniff out the best bakeries, even in the most unexpected places. Sarah, a budding food scientist with a passion for baking, can tell you the precise science behind the perfect flaky pastry or the ideal sourdough starter. She's the one who'll be analyzing the ingredients, appreciating the techniques, and geeking out over the perfect crumb structure. And then there's Liam, history buff, who not only delves into the fascinating history and cultural significance behind each place we visit, but is as well our designated driver, navigator, and the one who keeps us grounded (and on schedule!) amidst all the sugary excitement.

This blog will be your front-row seat to our sweet escapades. We'll be sharing our discoveries, reviewing our favourite finds, and documenting our journey while juggling our university commitments. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and get ready to experience the best of Scottish baking with us, one delicious adventure at a time!
