Let's face of it most of us are rubbish at baking.
We watch the Great British Bake Off because we envy their talent and we like to salviate over the delicious offering.
But when your baking sets of fire alarms instead of getting Mary Berry's seal of approval...it is time to hit the shops.
Here is our guide on how to cheat your way to a Great British Bake Off party with a list of the best places selling baked goods in Glasgow.
You will thank us when you settle down to watch the final on Wednesday with a delicious piece of cake and a cup of tea.
Cup
With two locations in Glasgow, one in Renfield Street and the other in Byres Road, there is no excuses for not trying Cup. As well as offering over 30 varities of tea, Cup is cake heaven. From chocolate hazelnut macroons to red velvet cake, there is something to suit all tastes. Find them on Facebook here
Cushion and Cake
Trying something new with a classic is what makes the Great British Bake Off, well, so great. Cushion and Cake on Hyndland Street are masters at this. The eatery also offers a lot of gluten free options, which is always a bonus. Find them on Facebook here
The Yarn Cake
Have you watched the Great British Bake Off and been desperate to try some of the creations? Look no further than The Yarn Cake, on Queen Margaret Drive, who recently did a version of Nadiya's peanut, caramel and chocolate souffle. Their tart version looks just a delicious and you can find them on Facebook here
Once Upon A Tart
If this picture of chocolate heaven does not make you want to visit this King Street bakery then we don't know what does. Feast your eyes on their official Facebook page here
Riverhill Coffee Bar
We think the Riverhill Coffee Bar is paying tribute to Mary 'Berry' with these creations - and we bet she would approve. Check out the Gordon Street's coffee bar's other creations on their Facebook page here
Avenue Coffee
Looking for the best scones in Glasgow? Head west. For Avenue Coffee, based on Byres Road and Great Western Road, claim their scones are the best in the city. Their coffee is also pretty amazing too. Find them on Facebook here
Bakery 47
Our top tip for getting the best baked goods from this South Side eatery - is get there early. Bakery 47 on Victoria Road is always queued out the door because their stuff is that good. Find them on Facebook here
