Take part in the Great CommuniBake Off!
We are so excited to be hosting our first ever Great CommuniBake Off this summer. It takes place on Saturday, July 30 and as well as being huge fun, it will also help us raise funds for a new bread slicing machine for our bakery.
Ready, set bake…
We’re asking you and other amateur bakers to design and bake at home, six individual cupcakes, muffins or sweet pies. All parts must be homemade from scratch, if possible, so no box cake mixes or bought pastry, but sprinkles are allowed.
How to enter
There will be two categories, under 16s and adults and entry is £5 per person, which will go towards our new bread slicing machine.
You can register to take part at https://communibakes.pro/shop.
The winner in each category will win an embroidered apron and their bake will be made and sold in the bakery throughout August. The runner up in each category will receive an embroidered apron too.
Bring your bakes for judging
Entries will need to be delivered to the bakery on July 30 between 10am-10.30am, along with a description card and a full ingredients list. We will display the entries so members of the public can come and view them between 10.30am and 11am. Judging will then take place at 11am by our Director and well-known Southampton baker, Matt Baker and some special guest judges yet to be announced.
We will be selling tasting boxes on the day containing a sample of each entry, along with a form for people to vote for their top three. The results from the forms and the opinions of our judges will be combined to determine the winner, which will be announced at 12noon on the day via our social media channels.
Lots of fun for all!
Anyone not entering the competition, but who still wants to get involved, can come along and purchase a taster box and cast their votes. We will also have games and a raffle at the bakery on the day too.
We are aiming to raise £2,000 for our new bread slicing machine and we hope the competition will help towards this.
We wish everyone the best of luck and can’t wait to see all of the entries.
