Aside from Levenshulme's Trove, Manchester's baking scene has yet to 'rise', but we're hopeful with in-house bakeries such as Blawd (meaning flour in Welsh) at Common, that 2016 will be the year for indie bakers. 

These cake wizards make one of the best chocolate salted caramel tarts we've tasted (keep an eye out for that one) as well as a range of their signature doughnuts, muffins and cakes. 

Sample them in store at Common, or for the ultimate treat, order in advance on Deliveroo for a dozen seasonal jam and custard doughnuts (£24), a batch of 6 salted caramel brownies (£11.50) or a gluten free buckwheat banana cake (£20).
