BAKERS young and old will be whipping up their best cakes in tomorrow’s Great Comber Cake Off.
Oganised by the award-winning Comber Farmers’ Market, amateur bakers are invited to produce their very best culinary creations.
Baking is popular as every judging by last year’s Cake Off in the market which attracted over 40 entries.
There will be two categories for 15 years plus and 14 years and under. The cakes will be judged by Belfast Telegraph food critic Joris Minne, Radio Ulster broadcaster and ‘foodie’ Kim Lenaghan and Radio Ulster resident chef Paula McIntyre MBE.
Joining these special guests will be Cake Off sponsor Andrew Dunlop, from Dunlop Homes.
Bakers are encouraged to use as many local ingredients as possible and when it comes to decoration, the sky’s the limit in creating a showstopper.
Farmers’ Market chairperson Deborah Girvan is delighted the competition has returned in 2018.
She said: “Everyone loves a slice of cake, and the Great Comber Cake off gives amateur bakers of all ages a chance to have their delicious baking tried and tested by professional food critics, who I know will savour every bite.
“Of course at Comber Farmers’ Market every month we already have a top team of bakers who lay on a beautiful morning tea in St Mary’s Church Hall, for those who love to eat cake rather than bake it!”
The monthly artisan Comber Farmers’ Market has a delicious variety of the very best food from local producers with meat, dairy, baked goods, jams and chutneys, charcuterie, fruit and veg and much more. Locally grown plants are also available.
The market is held in the grounds of St Mary’s Church beside Comber Square on the first Thursday of every month from 9am to 1pm. Parking is available in nearby car parks.
