New Awards Programme Recognises The Very Best Cakes




Today (11th February) sees the launch of The Cake Awards to find and celebrate the very best British cakes.
From the finest tea room slice and grandest hotel fancies to the myriad varieties on the shelves of supermarkets, bakery shops and retail food chains across the country, The Cake Awards are the only awards dedicated to recognising excellence in cake.

The Cake Awards are a unique opportunity for organisations and individuals to showcase their best products to the most respected figures in the industry, and to be judged by a panel of elite experts on the 9th and 10th April. Judges include Bruce Langlands, Director of Food at Harrods, Will Torrent award winning pâtissier and chocolatier, and Allan Jenkins, Editor of Observer Food Monthly. Only those cakes that have it all - excellent presentation, quality ingredients, recipe innovation, texture, taste and value will triumph.

Will Torrent, judge for The Cake Awards said: "I can't wait to help fantastic producers celebrate their excellence in all things cake. This is a chance for cake makers, pâtissiers, supermarkets, bakers and more to be recognised for their skills and expertise, showing the rest of the country that they produce some of the best cakes in the UK and shout to the rest of the world that we really are the Kings and Queens of Cake."

The awards are now open to enter and categories include -

Winners will be announced at the award ceremony on the 19th June at the Park Lane Hotel in Mayfair, London.

The Cake Awards is a joint venture between food industry expert Jane Milton and event organisers UBM Awards & Partnerships.

Jane Milton said: "Cakes are my passion and I have wanted to do something for a long time that would single out the best cakes across all areas of the UK food and hospitality industries and encourage others to raise their game."

Caroline Jackson Levy, CEO of UBM Awards & Partnerships said: "It's wonderful to be working in partnership with Jane.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
