Once Upon A Tart
Glasgow’s Once Upon A Tart is a truly magical place. As soon as you step inside, the whimsical, neon-meets-vintage décor gives you a taste of what they have to offer. Modern meets tradition, with favourites such as Victoria sponge with buttercream icing to inventive creations like their Mars bar brownies, all topped off with a comfy seat in an old fashioned leather sofa, perfect for nodding off in after your last bite of cake!

Lovecrumbs
Lovecrumbs is a cake-only cake shop in Edinburgh, offering up as many different flavour
combinations and types of cake as you can imagine. Big cakes smothered in buttercream icing, tarts, muffins, brownies, and scones, they even have a cake cabinet to keep their delicious creations in! With classic flavour combination like lemon and thyme, and chocolate, orange and pistachio, Lovecrumbs plays with tradition while offering a dizzying array of choice and maintaining a consistently high standard.

Artisan Cheesecakes
Stretching the cake theme as far as it will go, I can’t finish this list without mentioning Artisan Cheesecakes in Bathgate and Edinburgh. They offer the best, most indulgent cheesecakes in Scotland and beyond and I spend hours every week pining over their tweets. With every flavour you could dream up – tablet, white Kinder Bueno, milk chocolate millionaire – and creations inspired by traditional cakes! These sandwich a layer of thick, creamy cheesecake between moist cake and are then topped with more cream cheese. With flavours like carrot cake, sticky toffee pudding and Jaffa Cake, one of these can definitely hit that cake-craving spot.
