It’s that time of year when we ask you to ‘Get set – Bake’. Yes, it is time for the St Martins Guild annual Bake Off!

The Bake Off is for Guild members and their families to bake something of their choice, take a photo, email the photo to smgcbr@gmail.com then sit back and eat the bake. It’s that simple. I’m not aware of any flour or yeast shortages this year, so no excuses…

This year the Standing Committee have agreed to support The Trussell Trust. The Trussell Trust support a nationwide network of food banks and together they provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, and campaign for change to end the need for food banks in the UK. Did you know that every 9 seconds someone receives an emergency food parcel?

This year, again, there will be both adult and junior competitions to win the coveted “star baker” apron. The competition is anonymous so please take a photo of your bake on its own and email to smgcbr@gmail.com by Friday 30 April 2021. 

The voting this year will take place live at the Guild Business Meeting on Saturday 15 May 2021 at 10am. Prior to the meeting the bakes will be displayed on the website so you can have time to make an informed choice of your adult and junior bake winners.

There is no obligation to donate to bake or vote, however, we hope you feel as strongly as we do that The Trussell Trust is one of many charity’s that deserves our support. Please do get involved by baking and or donating and make sure your vote counts on Saturday 15 May 2021.
