As they say "to die for"!…read more I didn't know about the other bakeries, Carlton's, Stuarts, or Adamson's that Evelyn mentioned in her review or I might never have left Cupar, ever. We came across F & D while shopping in Cupar and we were lured in by an unbelievable window display (I have included photos because as I said you would not believe me otherwise). We hit it about lunch time and decided to give their steak bridies a try, OMG, they were great (I wonder if they ship to the States), the steak moist and the pastry nice and fluffy. I would have given them five stars just for that, but then we tried their coffee towers, wow! The service was friendly even though the place was fairly busy, if I ever make it back to Fife this is one place I'm certainly returning to without a doubt! Plenty of parking right out front, with a huge community parking lot out back.

Cupar is a small town just outside St Andrews which happens to be where I grew up. Considering its…read moresize this place has a disproportionate amount of bakeries- Fisher and Donaldsons x 2, Carltons, Stuarts, Adamsons.... Each has their own merits, special treats that are better at one than the other. For example I would rate a Stuarts Scotch pie as the best of the bunch but would visit Carltons if it was a Macaroni pie I was after (and they wonder why Scotland has so much heart disease). Fisher and Donaldson's definitely rates itself as the King of the bunch. It's prices are all a little higher and its packaging a little posher but when it comes to cakes there is no doubt it's the best. It's Fudge Doughnuts and Coffee Towers are famous throughout Fife but I'll try my best to describe a few of the other treats too. Fudge Doughnuts, as they sound, doughnuts filled with fudge custard and then topped with a fudgey glaze -more than one of these will send you in to a diabetic coma. Coffee Towers, choux pastry filled with coffee cream with a little chocolate button on the top- a take on a French pastry but bigger with more cream! Strawberry Tarts, a tart case filled with cream, topped with a strawberry and then covered in sugary syrup- there is an art to eating these without covering your face in red goo. Lemon Swishes, lemon cream layered with pastry and icing- a more refined choice for the adult cake lover. The Frog, sponge, fondant cream and icing shaped into a bright green and pink frog- my childhood favourite, scoop the cream out the frogs mouth with your finger before munching away at the spongey base! A taxi driver in Edinburgh once told me that whenever a driver in his company got a fare through to Fife it was obligatory that they stopped in on Fisher and Donaldsons to get an order for everyone. So don't just take my word for it, listen to the man! Fisher and Donaldon's is cakey perfection

In the morning the store is loaded with delicious looking treats and by 3pm all it has left are a few meat pies and some apple pies... SOMETIMES they even close EARLY if they sell out! Everything is made there in the kitchen/workshop in the back and it all is amazing! Taste like your grandma just baked for you! The prices are so cheap and the goods so delicious! The Apple slices are my favorite! And I love their fruit pies! Sometimes I think about getting a job here so I can learn how to bake these delicious things!

After stuffing our faces full of delicious seafood, we decided what better end to a great day out…read morein St. Andrews, than with some delicious baked goods from a local bakery. We walked in and were greeted by a wonderful display of baked goods for our choosing. I immediately knew what I was getting after seeing the case of empire biscuits or what they called Belgian biscuits. My mom went for a gingerbread man cookie and the boyfriend went for a fruit slice with lemon frosting. My biscuit was delicious as empire biscuits almost always are, but my mom wasn't a fan of her rather hard gingerbread man cookie. She said it was really hard to bite in to it was so hard, and didn't eat much of it. I tried the fruit slice, and it was interesting. The boyfriend mentioned it's much better with vanilla frosting, the lemon frosting didn't do much for it. There were loads of things to purchase, including whole cakes and savoury goods. Also, some weird 24 bakery machine, which I was curious about but didn't try out. I'd be in trouble if that machine was anywhere near where I live. Thankfully it's here, in St. Andrews. I might be tempted to stop here again if in the area, but if there's another local bakery, I would definitely check them out to see how they differ.

However, perhaps that is because, although the products are pretty much the same as the others, the staff seem to be less friendly and despite trying avidly to interact and create some form of community spirit, they do not seem interested, and often seem rather bored and lack lustre. However, the quality of their cakes and pastries and breads more than makes up for it, and their fudge doughnuts can only be eaten to be believed. They have a lovely window display during festive holidays so worth visiting maybe then.
