Cravin' bakery, Mold

CRAVIN, the popular Mold bakery was refurbished and relaunched by new owner Shane Mellor, earlier this year. Shane used to be a stall holder on Mold Market with an artisan bread and cake stall, so is well-known in the town.

Shane's baking heritage goes back to 1968 and he is incredibly proud of his range of handmade products, produced at his small bakery in Neston.

Cravin' is known for its old school cakes, ice cream, milkshakes and hot desserts as well as a fantastic savoury range of delicious gourmet sausage rolls, handmade pasties and tasty quiches. It's really difficult to walk past the Cravin' shop window, without gazing lovingly at the cakes.

Cravin' recently caused a bit of a fuss in the town by advertising the sausage rolls as "Mold's most expensive sausage rolls" and they even released a mug, which had the words "I am the mug who paid £4 for a sausage roll" on them.

Mold's most expensive sausage rolls may be the talk of the town, but these gourmet rolls are much bigger and tastier than your usual bog-standard sausage rolls. They are named things like "Get Stuffed" "Boss Hog" "Pigin Pickle" or "Cheesy Trotter" although they did have a traditional one called "Olde English" as well.

We decided to see what the fuss was about and popped into the shop. Be warned, the smell of sugar in the store, might play havoc with your sweet tooth. The head spinning cake display is worth a visit in its own right.
