World Pastry Awards 2024: Full list of UK winning bakeries and pastry shops

La Liste is a gastronomic guide that prides itself on recommending the finest hotels and eateries across the globe. Now, it has weighed in on the world of pastry. For La Liste’s Pastry Awards 2024, 25 patisseries and bakeries were recognised within 10 special categories, from Most Creative Chef to Discovery Gem. 

Lannan Bakery, which is in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge area, was one of the winners of the Pastry Opening of the Year Award. The shop’s signature bakes include a Lannan apple pie and custard and a rhubarb, custard and almond cake.

Owner Darcie Maher told The Scotsman: ‘Having been open from less than a year, it’s an honour to receive the award from La Liste for best pastry opening of the year. My life long dream has been to own my own bakery and Lannan has surpassed anything I imagined it would be. To have the recognition cements all the relentless hard work that’s gone into every aspect of the bakery up until this point.’

On top of the main categories, the awards gave recognition to over 3,000 pastry providers that it considers the ‘crème de la crème of pastry shops, bakeries, coffee shops, afternoon teas and desert restaurants’ — 199 of those were in the UK. Here’s the full list of winners.
