The Beech Tree Cafe

Another glorious day in Scotland with the Temperature hitting 25oc -perfect for a drive through William Wallace country and onto Dunblane. Now many of you may know this beautiful little town because of a certain Tennis Player but it now has a new reason to be cheerful. The stunning little Cafe by the name of " The Beech Tree Cafe " sits nestled into Dunblane town centre .With its well kept fresh flower hanging baskets and "al fresco" dining it invites you in. This Cafe is ten years old with its present owners - Trisha and Wilma ,Mother and daughter team. The baking is sublime and all handmade between them . I recieved a warm and nervous welcome from Trisha who ushered me to a table and continued to supply me with some of the most mouthwatering baking i have tasted in a while. I had Shortbread which in my opinion is one of the best i have tasted - light ,mouthwatering and full of flavour. I had Caramel Shortcake and Carrot Cake but the Iced gingerbread - oh my- again extremely skilled baking to achieve such a light full of flavour and excellent texture without killing it with the ginger. I also had one of the best Fruit Scones i have tasted in a while . Not doughy ,great colour ,Flavour and texture .. Well this little town of Dunblane has a wee gem on its doorstep and i for one would be in it every day if i lived there . Well done Trisha,Wilma and the team at Beech Tree Cafe .
