The Great Eskalemuir Bake Off
Who doesn’t love a good old Bake Off?! Whether you’re a master baker, a confident cake-maker or just someone who bakes for fun, we want to see what you can whip up!
From 12 noon, bring along your best sweet and savoury creations and enter them into The Great Eskdalemuir Bake Off. It’s just £2 per person to enter, and you can enter as many bakes as you like — so no need to choose a favourite!
Our Special Guest Judge (sadly, we can confirm they are not a TV celebrity chef! ) will be casting their expert eye over the entries before announcing the winner at 4pm.
But that’s not all! We’ll also have a People’s Choice Award, where YOU get to decide your favourite bake. For a small donation to The Hub, you can cast your vote — so come along, sample the goodies and have your say!
This fun Bake Off is open to everyone, so dust off those aprons, fire up the oven and get baking!
Let the baking commence!
