❓ FAQ
How were these cities and cakes chosen?
Each city's entry centers on the cake or bake most closely tied to its local food culture — some (like Cardiff's Welsh cakes or Adelaide's frog cake) are singular icons with real documented histories, while others reflect a broader local café and bakery scene rather than one dominant recipe.
Are the bakery recommendations verified?
Recommendations mix flagship, well-documented bakeries with genuinely local spots. For a handful of cities the scene is more spread out than one destination shop — those pages say so directly and point to a neighborhood instead of a single unverified name.
How often is this guide updated?
Bakery scenes change — always check a spot is still open before making a special trip, especially for smaller, independent bakeries.
