  • Under 16’s runner up prize: Baking experience with Charter 1227 Chef, in their professional kitchen, donated by Charter 1227 Kitchen.

Judging

The judges are not only looking for the best decorated but also the tastiest cake too.

Foodie Sunday

The Bake Off is taking place at Foodie Sunday which is open from 10am to 4pm on Sunday September 5.

Salisbury City Council is hosting Foodie Sunday which will give visitors the chance to enjoy food demonstrations, tastings, local chefs and an array of food vendors in Market Place as well as the Salisbury Vegan Fair.

There will also be live music acts including five piece band King Louie.

The market will also host a large variety of food vendors that cater for all tastes including vegan and gluten free options.

Visitors can enjoy food including pizzas, curries, Thai, cheeses and Mexican food and sample an assortment of sweet treats such as pancakes, doughnuts, ice cream and more.

Once you’ve worked up a thirst enjoy a tipple from one of the bars.
