After weeks of crisp competition, 20 English bakeries had the chance to present their finest creations at the famous Savoy Hotel, a symbol of English elegance, \u201cso british\u201d! An event not to be missed, celebrating both British craftsmanship and the incomparable quality of Isigny Sainte-M\u00e8re’s special tourage butter, for which our English neighbors are famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

55 bakeries in the running, only one winner!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
