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% will be scored by the general public. We pick members of the crowd to come and sample what is on offer, then they 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 grab a seat and taste test some fantastic cakes!

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

COMMON QUESTIONS

Does everything need to be made from scratch?

No, that's up to you. The cake cannot be shop-bought however!

Can I leave my cake while I explore the event?

Yes, it's best if you take it straight to the Challenge Stage then we can get you booked in.

Would I need to go up on stage?

No. You are welcome to present your cake as you wish on the stage, or leave it to our team to do so.

Can I have my box back after?

Sure, just let us know before we clean up.

Can children enter?

Yes! Please note that in the interests of fairness, all cakes are judged anonymously and on an even footing, with no special account being taken of age.
