It is well-known that it is hard to be a baker: there are no Sundays, feasts or holidays. This is the life for Manwel, the owner of Ta’ Barbetta sweet bakery, who starts working at 2:30 am every morning. He started to work in this bakery when he was just a young man, helping his uncle in his daily tasks.
Today, Ta’ Barbetta sweet bakery is famous all over Malta, and it is particularly renowned for the traditional Maltese sweets, such as the Maltese sweet buns. As soon as you enter, the strong aroma of yeast, sesame buns and whiffs of vanilla will surround you, making you fall in love with this artisanal bakery.
