The Cake Competition
The Cake competition will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, July 20th.
The baker of the best overall cake will be awarded the Baker's Cup (current holder: Mr Charles Skelton for 'The Riddle'), and a £30 Marks & Spencer's token (up an impressive ten pounds from last year). There will rosettes and smaller prizes for individual category winners. 2008 will see a return of the popular Battenberg Cup, which will be presented to the creator of the finest Battenberg (current holder: Mr Jimmy Carr).
2008 also sees the introduction of a new award: The Victoria Sponge Cross. Keep it classic!
There are five categories you can enter:
- Fruit.
- Novelty
- Battenberg Cup.
- Victoria Sponge Cross.
- Chocolate.
Please note that where there exists some potential crossover of categories (Chocolate Novelty etc.) the onus is upon the individual baker to assign his or her cake to a particular category.
Entries are currently limited to 2 cakes per person (to be entered in different categories) - although we are considering reducing the limit to 1. It rather depends on number of entries. And how hungry we feel for cake.
