Scottish Baking Awards

DESIGN | CREATE | INNOVATE

This award system is the only one of its kind in scotland. There is not an Awarding body for Baking but many for Master Bakers. This scheme aims to award the outstanding Baking that exists in scotland and acts as a fantastic online guide to tourists and local people alike to the very best establishments that produce quality Baking.

There will be no bad reviews as only the establishments that are Awarded the SBA(Scottish Baking Award)will be featured, therefore acting as a genuine guide. These establishments will be issued with their Award which can be displayed in their premises, signfying good Baking. If you dont have an Award then you either have not been Assessed or failed to meet Assessment criteria. This scheme will cleverly create healthy competition within Scotlands Baking industry and improve the level of Baking for our customers. Many many places advertise baking today but how many can actually say its excellent. This is their aim -to achieve a higher standard within Scotland and to stand alone in the world for excellent Baking no matter where you go in Scotland.

The "Only" Baking Awards judged by Real Experts

These days with Awards for this and Awards for that we are slowly diluting the ones that really matter. At Scottish Baking Awards your Baking, Premises and Cakes are judged by the very best in the business . So if you want to know you are Excellent then let the REAL Judges tell you . This year at our Awards Ceremony in September The Novelty,SugarCraft and Chocolate Cakes have the very best in their field judges. Cecilia Young is the Chairman of the British Sugarcraft Guild and knows her stuff believe me . Sue Lawrence is regarded as The Queen of Cakes in Scotland and not only did she win Masterchef but has written many baking books and hundreds of TV appearances. Christina Conte- our wee touch of Hollywood has had her own Cake shop in Hollywood catering for the stars and still does to this day .Frederiecke and Ali Gower from the truly ethical and organic "The Chocolate Tree " in our capital Edinburgh are quite simply the best Chocolatiers in Scotland. Not only do they grow their own beans but make their own Chocolate from Bean to Bar right here in Scotland. I myself will be judging the Novelty Cake section as i have over 42 years baking experience ,4 Tearooms to my name and several baking books published . Our " Formidable" team mean we are the Experts in Scotland and NOT Executives . We look forward to welcoming you on the 28th September at Mar Hall with many more surprises still to reveal.

The first Supermarket Baked products assessed today

Today was the first day of Assessments for our main Supermarkets in Scotland . This year we have introduced a new Category for our Awards at Mar Hall in September - "Scotland's Best Supermarket Baked product". Because our Assessments are carried out incognito and we are not paid to visit them ,we are sampling what you the customer would be purchasing. Todays Supermarket on trial was "Waitrose " . Our findings will be released via our London Based PR company nearer the Awards Ceremony with 3 out 7 Supermarkets in our finals. Today we tried 1. BREAD- PETT MANGE BLANC. 2. DOUBLE CHOC CHIP COOKIE. 3. ICED FINGER BUN. 4.BLUEBERRY MUFFIN. 5. SULTANA SCONE. Our findings we believe to be the most credible in this industry as no money changes hands in any of the process.
