Bakery

The art of baking has been around for centuries, dating back as far as 300BC. First gaining popularity among the Romans for use at banquets and weddings; due to the growing desire and demand of the art of baking, it was introduced as a respectable occupation for Romans. The undying appeal for freshly baked goods promoted baking all throughout Europe and parts of Eastern Asia promoting bakers to bake breads and and other goods at home and start peddling them in the streets. As the trend increased throughout Rome, Germany, France, London and more, a home delivery system was implanted which in turn prompted bakers to establish a place were customers could come and purchase baked goods themselves; and as such the bakery was born. While the popularity of the bakery grew so did the interest from countries and regions where the traditional bakery or baked goods were not accustomed. Slowly but surely they started popping up in places like North America and South East Asia. While the bakeries you find here in Phuket are not quite the same as what you may expect in your home country, they do offer many of the same items such as fresh breads, cakes, tarts and doughnuts; and while their ingredients and fillings do have that Thai twist to them, they still offer that comforting taste of home.
