Just like on Bake Off, teams are tasked with 3 different challenges – the Signature Bake, the Technical Challenge and the Showstopper! Once their treats are baked to perfection, teams then make them look good enough to eat by decorating them with icing, sweets, toppings and sparkles. 

This event can be held as a competition, with a prize for the winning team, or can be run as a relaxing collaborative event where the reward is for everyone to share and enjoy their treats together! As a fun conclusion to the activity, guests can display their bakes on cake stands for judging.
