Starting as a lockdown project at the beginning of 2021, the business has gone from strength to strength.

Initially operating as a delivery only service, the bakery is now opening a brick and mortar store later this month.

Scott Parker, who claims to be “Edinburgh’s baldest baker”, creates a variety of sweet treats and delicious snacks through his bakery.

These include traditional cinnamon buns to a play on school dinner classics such as a half and half sponge, jam and icing along with coconut school sponge.

But the boisterous baker’s talents do not end there, with Scott creating Baldi dipping boxes, cupcakes, traybakes, cake jars, brownies and many other sweet tooth delicacies.

The store was due to open before the Easter weekend but unfortunately some issues with the unit meant a slight delay.

The Bald Baker announced the opening in time for Easter on Instagram, they posted: “Bald Baker at 13 Oxgangs Broadway will officially open soon. We had a slight delay dealing with a certain company but we move on…so opening pushed back BUT at same time just in time for Easter Weekend - more details to follow.
