There are 2 categories to enter and certificates & prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd & 3rd place in each, full details of the prizes will be announced soon!
Category 1 – Delicious Cakes & Bakes
This category will be tasted and judged on taste, texture & flavour combinations. Any type of cake or bake can be entered into this category including large cakes, cupcakes, biscuits, brownies & macarons, but they must be made from scratch, no box mixes or store bought frostings allowed. Once the bakes have been judged they will be served at the coffee morning with all proceeds going to MacMillan Cancer Support.

Category 2 – A Decorated Show Stopper inspired by Winchester
This category is all about the decoration and will be judged on the overall appearance, neatness, use of colour & skill level. Your show stopper can be a large cake, cupcakes or iced cookies inspired by any aspect of Winchester, including it’s landmarks, landscapes, history & people. Although showstoppers will be judged purely on their decoration, they must also be edible as they will be sold by way of a silent auction to raise money for MacMillan as part of the Winchester Festival of Coffee.
