Baker on a roll with prizes just months after break-in
James Lynch, 32, of Edinburgh Bakehouse, won a silver regional award for his morning rolls, before clinching a national silver award for the same produce.
The baker was presented with his gong by Paul Hollywood, artisan baker and star of The Great British Bake Off, at a ceremony in the Westerwood Hotel in Cumbernauld.
