Qualität aus Meisterhand

We are a small German bakery in Haddington, Scotland, specialising in premium quality, traditionally made, German Konditorei cakes and gâteaux. We also bake authentic-style German sourdough breads with Heinrich, our 150 year old rye sourdough starter, brioche and other sweet yeast doughs.

Whatever we bake, Konditormeister Falko is there to ensure that with all of our products we stick to our principle "Qualität aus Meisterhand" — Quality from the master's hand.

Falko is a Konditormeister - Master Pastry Chef - from Germany. He uses traditional, labour-intensive skills, natural ingredients and patience to create cakes, tarts and gâteaux which have carefully balanced flavours, textures and sweetness.
