Alex and her
Stunning Jubilee Cake Wins Southport Bake Off
THE finals of Southport's 1st ever Bake-Off competition took
place at last week's Southport Food & Drink Festival.
4 finalists, selected previously
at heats at In-toto Kitchens on Eastbank Street, were asked to
present cakes to a panel of industry professionals to the theme of
'a Diamond Jubilee.' The cakes would again be judged
on originality, presentation and taste by judges Chris Latham of CH
Lathams, Jane Miller of In-toto Kitchens, Adam Darrigan of the
Vincent Hotel and Denise Mullen of Pleasureland.
Jane said:- "The standards were set at a very
high level at our first heat, and the final proved even more
difficult to judge as we had heated debates as to who should take
first prize. In the end, we awarded it to Alex Fisher for her
stunning tiered cake complete with crown on the top. Not only did
each individual cake taste delicious, her icing work and attention
to detail was first class. It had a real 'wow' factor."
Alex was presented with an Artisan Kitchen Aid Cake Mixer worth £450
from In-toto Kitchens Southport and an overnight stay at the Vincent
Hotel.

all who took part!" |
