The Edinburgh Butter Company announces winner of 2025’s Scotland’s Best Croissant competition.

The Edinburgh Butter Company has announced Wheatberry Bakery in Glasgow as the winner of 2025’s Scotland’s Best Croissant competition.

The competition was held at Edinburgh restaurant, Hawksmoor and drew 14 entrants. Edinburgh’s Patina Bakery won second place. 

Entrants presented six plain croissants to a panel of judges comprised of industry experts including Darcie Maher, owner of Lannan Bakery in Stockbridge. Entries were judged on appearance, including uniformity, colour and shape and on lamination skills, texture and flavour.  

Participants crafted their croissant entries using The Edinburgh Butter Company’s sheet butter, which has been specially formulated for pastry lamination.

Chloe Black, director of The Edinburgh Butter Company said: “Yet again this year, the standard was exceptionally high and showcases Scotland’s wealth of skilled artisan bakers. Wheatberry Bakery’s croissant really stood out for its beautiful appearance alongside its incredible texture and flavour.”
