It’s Time For Great Renshaw Bake Off Challenge!
Tuesday 5th August 2014
We’re running our very own Great Renshaw Bake Off, and we want you to take part. Every week we’ll be issuing a unique challenge to test your baking and decorating skills in a variety of contexts and the winner of each challenge will be rewarded with a Renshaw Baking gift voucher.
To enter each challenge you’ll need to do the following after making your entry:
- Tweet a picture to us using the @RenshawBaking Twitter handle and the hashtag #renshawbakeoff
- Upload a picture of your cake to our Facebook page
So it’s pretty simple to get your cake in front of the judges’ eyes. Speaking of which, we’ve managed to get some fantastic judges on board. They’ll be judging your cakes on the following criteria:
- Theme appropriateness (the theme will change each week)
- Skill
- Creativity
- Finish
And our judges are:
- Suzy Pelta
- Elizabeth Solaru
- Frances McNaughton-Kelly
- Mich Turner
- Fiona Carins
- Sandra Monger
- Lynn Hill
- Terry Tang
- Ruth Clemens
