Cake Off

Over 800 cakes have been cut, tasted and deliberated... but only one can be crowned winner! It's a GBFF institution and the competition is fierce... don’t forget all cake off entrants get in free to the festival! This means you DO NOT NEED TO BUY A TICKET

Cake-off judging is at 1.30pm. All cakes must be dropped off by 1.00pm.

The Rules


Not only will we give you FREE entry to the event, there'll be a fab prize for all of our Cake-Off Winners!

50% of the score is obtained from our judging panel who will rate the entries on their presentation and taste. The other 50% of the votes will be scored by the general public. At each Festival we pick members of the crowd to come and sample what is on offer, then they will hand in their scores. Once all scores have been tallied, our independent adjudicator will announce the winner.

And the best is yet to come! Once the judging is over all cake entries are open for anyone to sample, so make sure you are down at the Festival and grab a seat to taste test some of our fantastic cakes!

So, now you know the rules, get the apron on, the flour in the bowl and start baking!
