Fitz a wonderful life One of the oldest and best-loved bakeries in Cambridge, the reputation of Fitzbillies’ deliciously sticky Chelsea buns precedes it throughout the world. The bakery was founded in 1920 by Ernest and Arthur Mason, two brothers with an interest in making fancy cakes and sweet delights, following in the footsteps of their baker father. To this day, imaginative confections remain a speciality: check out the lemon berry macaron cake or raspberry ripple fantasy cake – and there’s also a mouth-watering selection of macarons, cupcakes, florentines and brownies to indulge in. You can also enjoy a relaxing coffee, brunch or afternoon tea at Fitzbillies, which has branches on Trumpington Street and Bridge Street.
