Actress and queen of home baking, Jane Asher, has announced the dates for the Home Baker of the Year award 2008, which is open to anyone aged 16 and over  throughout the UK.

The annual competition, which is now entering its 5th year, aims to remind people that baking is an enjoyable activity for people of all ages - fun and rewarding for families, professionals, mothers, fathers – everyone who enjoys good, home made food.

 

What do you need to do?

All you have to do to have a chance of being crowned Home Baker of the Year is to submit a delicious cake recipe. Jane will then choose a shortlist of 5 to be entered into the final which will be held on 9th October at Poggenpohl Kitchen Showrooms in Manchester.

Simply fill in the form at the following link and send us your recipe, listing your ingredients, method and cooking instructions.

 

Recipes can be brand-new ideas or variations of old classics: last year’s winner, Linda Edmonds from Brentwood, Essex, was a success with her Tipsy Apple and Blackberry Cupcakes, fighting off some very tough competition from among a high standard of entries.

Jane Asher commented, “The award has been a resounding success since it launched in 2004 and we had a record number of entries last year. The UK has such a strong baking culture and I’m aiming to help this continue for generations to come. Baking isn’t something that should be done just for special occasions: it’s fun for all the family – and can be very quick and simple too.

“I really enjoy being involved with the competition: baking is the perfect way to learn about good food and cooking, and gives a great reward at the end. I hope Home Baker of the Year encourages people to get back into the kitchen, and I look forward to seeing the entries pour in for another exciting Final.”

Send us your recipes, Good Luck!!

All entries must be in by 10 August 2008
