Baking has reemerged as a popular pastime for men and women of all ages. What better way to bring our community together than to hold a Bake-off. It will give us a chance to get together, swap notes, offer support, have some fun and raise money for Breast Cancer Care.
To be a part of the event, you should live or work in BR3 and be an amateur baker.
To enter you will be asked to bake a Victoria Sponge. This can be a classic version or your own take upon that. The cake will be judged by 3 independent, Beckenham-linked judges. The cake will be judged on the following criteria: Flavour, Appearance, Consistency and Presentation.
Your cake should be brought to the Hidden Teapot's Summer Fair on Saturday 18 August to the hall of the Beckenham Methodist Church - entrance in Bevington Road.
Due to popular demand, there will now be a new category of 'Under 16's'. So if you know a young baker, get them to show us what they can do.
Entries should arrive by 1pm. The competition will be judged at 4.30pm and the winner announced thereafter. The competition is free to enter but we are asking entrants to make a donation of £3. However, you should note that it is not a requirement of the competition, simply a suggestion. If you wish to make a donations it should be made on the day.
There will be an overall winner, decreed the Beckenham Baker 2012, plus a second and third prize.
Prizes will be announced here soon.
Email thehiddenteapot@gmail.com for an entry form. And get baking!
Lovely to meet you on Saturday Miss SoS! Looking forward to the next Hidden Teapot this month!
