The 2026 Commonwealth Games are lighting up Glasgow this week, and the home nations have given us so much to cheer about! From Duncan Scottās record-breaking swims to Thomas Young charging to T38 100m gold, itās been non-stop drama. We even saw history made with David Mullarkey securing the Isle of Manās first-ever athletics medal in 68 years with a fantastic 10,000m bronze! Plus, with world record holder Josh Kerr lining up for Scotland in Saturdayās Menās Mile final, the final weekend promises to be unforgettable!
If all that sporting brilliance has put you in the mood to celebrate, our volunteer bakers have assembled a gold medal-winning lineup of their own for this Saturday:
š Jackie’s Lemon Drizzle: Bright, zesty and topped with its signature sweet drizzle, it’s always one of our first cakes to disappear.
š„ Nicki’s Carrot Cake: A dependable champion that’s always on the podium with our regular customers.
šŖ Sarah’s Almond Cookies: Crisp on the outside, soft in the middle and the perfect partner for a freshly brewed coffee.
š Andrea’s Banana Loaf: Soft, comforting and packed with banana flavour, making it an easy favourite for all ages.
š« Rebecca’s Lemon, Blueberry & White Chocolate Blondies: Sweet white chocolate, juicy blueberries and a zing of lemon combine to make an irresistible treat.
