Scotland has no shortage of cute tea rooms, bakeries and roadside cafes with tempting tray bakes.
Where are your favourite spots around the country for a sugar fix?
Some of my favourites are...
Lovecrumbs in Edinburgh - you'll struggle to decide which cake to choose! Hopefully you can grab a seat inside the window.
Gorgeous Cafe in St Andrews - select your choice of scone from the descriptions written on the cafe window. How could I refuse a scone with raspberry, blueberry and white chocolate?!
Duo Restaurant in Perth - their homemade French macaroons are AMAZING. I highly recommend the salted caramel, white chocolate, and peanut butter flavours.
Eigg Yurts on the Isle of Eigg - when cycling or walking around the island, stop by for some homemade Italian ice-cream and a 'cake of the day'. The strawberry and pistachio ice-cream went down on a treat on a day of cycling in the sunshine.
Yummy!

Find me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

@VisitScotlandHeather - I've actually been lucky enough to blog about the Perth Chocolate Fest, and was a judge for the chocolate competition. It was heavenly, but by about the 30th entry I was starting to feel a bit sicky ha ha. Cake Fest sounds amazing!

Any flavour recommendations would be most appreciated!!
@TheChaoticScot Gorgeous Cafe in St. Andrews has been on the top of my list but hasn't happened yet-your picture is stunning!
My favourite place is Leo's Beanery in Edinburgh, everytime we visit the Scottish capital we always find some time to have some cake in this place, extra bonus that it is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the city!
Here's a recent picture (taken straight from my blog):
Also ask me any questions on Instagram or Twitter if you are visiting Aberdeen anytime soon and you need recommendations.
I'm definitely expecting some photo highlights when you're back!

The Boathouse on the Isle of Ulva hands down for me. They have a selection of the most amazing homemade cakes. Hike round the rugged island then have a guilt free slab of delicious cake you'll have earned.
Another favourite is the Tobermory Bakery on Mull. It's near impossible to choose from their enticing selection. They also do a mean cooked breakfast.
When it comes to sweeties, Sweet Memories in Inveraray. I'm like a kid on Christmas day in that place. Sweetie tobacco, Chelsea Whoppers and Gold Rush bubblegum. All childhood favourites of mine. I can devour a bag of sweetie tobacco like I haven't eaten in a week. What's not to love about sugary coconut.
At home in Edinburgh I'm a big fan of afternoon tea at Hotel du Vin and the Bollinger Bar at the Signet Library which opens in summer during the Fringe.
Now I'm hungry!
Any cafe with this in their window is obviously my kind of place -
And they have loads of different hot chocolates, with homemade marshmallows too:
There's an amazing chocolate factory in Dumfries & Galloway called the Cocoabean Company which has a café and an indoor and outdoor play area. They have kids chocolate making classes and adults can get involved too with special truffle making classes. What’s even better is the shop, there are over 100 varieties of loose chocolates to buy, pure heaven! yummy!
