their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy dream and goal when I started this business was to bring more artisan bakers to the industry\u201d said Betina Skovbro, BR\u00d8D\u2019s founder and owner, in a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedanishbakery.co.uk\/news\">news update<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While hospitality apprenticeships in Cardiff <a

126%<\/a> between academic years 2016\/17 and 2017\/18, that only represents a numeric rise of 75 roles in a city of over 300,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such a context, BR\u00d8D\u2019s yearly offering of an apprenticeship is undoubtedly good news for the Cardiff economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4608\" height=\"3456\"

benefitted them in return, as it\u2019s their combination of authentic Danish cuisine and British cafe culture which pulls in the punters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Karin Wahl-Jorgeson, a director of Cardiff University and herself a Dane, said, \u201cmost Danish bakeries are just shops where you can pick up baked pastries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut BR\u00d8D is a British version of an increasingly popular model of bakery cafe where you can have pastries and a nice cup of coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has lots of delicious pastries that are just like the ones you get in Denmark, and that are impossible to find anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy Danish cousin, who lived in Cambridge, would make special pilgrimages to BR\u00d8D and would bring home huge boxes of pastries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Danish bakery is expanding to a new premises in Penarth and offering apprenticeships in
