The Cake Competition sponsored by The Baking Company received over 80 entries! From Walt himself and the iconic Mickey Mouse, to world-famous heroes and villains, the Inspired by Disney entries showcased each baker's individual take on the Disney theme, marking the brand's 100th birthday in true Cake & Bake style. Showcasing talent from bakers of all ages and levels, the entries were incredible, each featuring intricate detail and remarkable craftmanship. This year's overall winner was Emily Rakow who was awarded Best In Show and received £1,000 for her 'Disney Dogs' masterpiece.
