Dobbies Edinburgh want you to send them your best Christmas recipe and then they will make the recipe to sell in their cafe!
You could become Edinburgh’s Star Baker this Christmas.
If you are a keen baker you are asked to put your Great British Bake Off knowledge to the test and submit your speciality Christmas recipe.
You can win the chance for a signature festive bake to be soldin Dobbies’ restaurant and a tasty afternoon tea for two.
From delicious truffles and mini Christmas puds to crumbly mince pies and festive tray bakes, all recipes submitted will be judged by Restaurant Manager, Kyra Ritchie.
The winning Christmas bake will be on sale from Friday 2nd – Sunday 4th December, with all proceeds donated to the garden centre’s national charity partner, Teenage Cancer Trust.
Kyra Ritchie said: “We’re giving locals the chance to show what they can do, whisking, folding and frosting their way into our restaurants and becoming Dobbies Edinburgh Star Baker. The first weekend in December is an incredibly busy time for us, particularly with the launch of our Christmas Afternoon Tea, so it’s an exciting chance to showcase your baking skills to our customers and see your recipe come to life.”
“As a judge, I’ll be looking for a Christmas recipe with an edge, something tasty but different, bonus points will also be given for those who give their bake a horticultural twist such as holly to decorate or a sage infused crumble– and of course, we want no soggy bottoms!”
To enter, send your Christmas recipe to mychristmasbake@dobbies.com.
Entries for the competition close on 14 November and winners will be announced the following week.
