BakeOff Categories!!
For anyone wanting to enter the BakeOff (rather than just eat cake), there will be three categories:
* 12 of the Same
* Free From
* Freestyle

For all categories, prizes will be awarded based on the number of Fairtrade ingredients, taste and overall appearance.

12 of the Same could be cookies, cupcakes, brownies, flapjacks or anything else you fancy; Free From is any bake that removes one of the allergens commonly found in baked goods and swaps it for a free-from alternative (think gluten free, nut free, vegan…); Freestyle is anything else you fancy creating that doesn’t fit in the other categories.

Judging will take place at 11 am, so please have all entries at church and available for consideration in good time.

After judging, entries will then be sold to raise funds for Transform Trade and the work they are doing with producers and smallholders around the world.
