Establishing a cult following, staying true to yourself and creating the world-famous Honeymoon Slice, with The Pastry Section, Edinburgh

Independent Thinking - Exploring a new era for retail and the high street

Today I'm delighted to be joined by Lesley, from The Pastry Section in Stockbridge, Edinburgh.
Nestled in the heart of Stockbridge, Edinburgh, lives The Pastry Section, a bakery for anyone with a sweet tooth. Established in 2017, it is a contemporary bakery that you won’t find baking sausage rolls or offering sandwiches anytime soon - for this place celebrates all things sweet- from traybakes, loaf cakes and biscuits, to sandwich cakes, sponges and patisserie - this place is a must for anyone for whom a cup of coffee isn’t complete without a side of something sweet to indulge in.
It was a total pleasure to welcome Lesley on the show - she was so generous with her stories, so I hope you enjoy!
NB: As we're recording remotely, there is a slight reduction in sound quality at the end of the episode - hope it doesn't impact your enjoyment too much!
