This is obviously referred to as a "Cake Walk".

I see what you did there
there it is. Best I came up with crakeries but that just makes it sound grumpy
I always come to the comments to find a better pun already made
Used to do this as a student, in Sheffield there's a long line of Greggs through the city all about 1 steak-bake-walk apart
I wonder if this is why the Romans laid down their roads
This comment should be the British national anthem
Manchester has got you if you fancy another one. We have so many Greggs and it ain’t even nice nor cheap anymore.
Edit: I can’t honestly fathom that we have 16 of these shitty places within the city centre. Thats crazy. Then there’s 4-5 McD in that same area too and god knows how many Costa Coffee shops.
Costa is a wild.
Carb crawl?
Nothing wrong with a grub crawl
Same basic ingredients, grain, water, yeast.
and both equally old
Oh Scott, we've all been there
my locale has one of these. all ten restaurants in town have signed up, and if you take three receipts with the restaurants having eaten at them (it can just be coffee) to city hall they give you... something? i dunno, I have only done twice in a month.
My grandma used to that.
She got diabetes
How about a bun run?
Bun-ny hop?
Of course, a cake walk. Muffin or Mochi March. Donut Derby. Croissant, Crueller, and Cookie Crawl. Bismarck Bun Fight. In winter, a Loaf Luge.
But how will that help me drown my problems in alcohol?
You're an adult, no one is stopping you. As Shia says "JUST DO IT! 🫱🫲"
Except the UK having a pretty crap bakery culture. It might be better in cities, but for most of us I suspect it's just "Here's a selection of stodgy pre-packed cakes we defrosted this morning. That will be £5 please. Oh you want to sit down? Then it's £6."
That's sad to hear since there's so many cool places with bakery culture near you. That's like when I found out Houston makes New Orleans boiled crayfish wrong even tho they're only 6 hrs apart 😂
We have a decent culture of baking - but in terms of commercial outlets you generally need to be living somewhere fancier than average to get more than one half decent bakery.
If the new Orleans thing shocked you, Wait until you find out how upset Brits get about whether you apply clotted cream first or jam in a cream tea.
And the counties that get the most het up about it are at immediately next to each other.
They soon forget their differences when I pull out the can of squirty cream.
Lol I'm not looking squirty cream up 😂😂😂
Muffin Shufflin’
imo this is the best way to plan a visit to a city anyway. Just pick something you like and visit all the versions of it in that city. Could be anything. Trashy bars, theaters, parks, etc. Works great
How many pastries can one person eat? Also, you dont get anything but bad health out of the deal?!
And delirious joy.
Interesting... So get this...
Donut crawl.
I like your style
Porque no los dos?
only if the bakeries have alcohol
Technically, they make alcohol there if they're making yeasted bread..
A pub crawl, but it's chippies
We welcome all forms of yeasty goodness
first one, then the other
Every year in my area there is a croissant festival where participating bakeries sell their finest croissant at 1.50$, and this is exactly what we do. A croissant crawl.
