On Monday 28th October we held the very first Scotland’s Best Croissant Competition in Edinburgh.
WINNER 2024:
Maple Leaf Bakery
Maple Leaf Bakery, a home-based microbakery from Glasgow, has officially been named as the winner of Scotland’s Best Croissant competition. HAVN in Bridge of Allan took second place and Patina in Edinburgh finished third.
Maple Leaf Bakery excelled among a strong field of competitors, which included renowned entrants from across Scotland such as Jeju Baked Goods, The Culinary Kiwi Bird, Kaf Coffee, Dune Bakery, The Palmerston, Station House Bakery, Sunrise Bakehouse, Freedom Bakery, HAVN, Patina, Broken Clock, Argyle Place, Le Petit Francais, Feingeback, The Fat Batard, Courie Courie, The Sheraton, Outlier and Wild Hearth.
We were impressed with the extremely high standard of all the entries, but Maple Leaf’s croissant really stood out for us and we unanimously agreed that that croissant deserved the trophy.
Rebecca said:
“It means so much to me to win this competition, particularly as a small home-based bakery. There is so much talent and dedication to the craft amongst the amazing artisan bakeries we have in Scotland, which is why I’m honoured to be recognised by these incredibly skilled judges. I am also indebted to Edinburgh Butter Company, whose pastry butter I’ve used since the very beginning. For me, baking has always been a labour of love, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share that with others.”
