You can even test your skills in the art of deceptive cake making in the ‘Cake or Fake’ Harvest Edition category. Challenging entrants to create their best look-alike bakes inspired by harvest, such as cake shaped like fruit and vegetables.
Other classes include ‘Celebrating Harvest’, encouraging bakers to combine seasonal produce in their creations, ‘Best in the Business’ for professional bakers with an abundance of technical skills, plus ‘Garden Themed Decorated Traybake’ for kids to get creative with their designs and celebrate the great outdoors.

Judging and Prizes
Judging will take place in the morning of Friday, 27 September 2024, with results displayed from midday the same day. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Medal Cards will be awarded in all classes.
Winners of the 1st Prize in each class will receive a goodie bag including a cookware voucher, a signed baking book, and a unique embroidered ‘The Great Malvern Cake Off Competition’ apron.
All bakes will be judged on overall taste, texture, presentation, adherence to theme (where applicable) and skill level. Bakes will be cut into in order to be tested.
