Get Your BAFTA Bake On
28 April 13
In celebration of Television Special Award recipient Delia Smith, we asked the public to show off their baking talent BAFTA style.
Delia Smith has won a place in the hearts of the British public for her warm presenting style and accessible approach to teaching cookery. On 30 April, Delia will be presented with a BAFTA mask , at a special tribute event in honour of her hugely successful TV career. To celebrate, we asked Delia fans to show off their own cookery skills in our BAFTA bakery competition.
Entrants were asked to concoct an edible, BAFTA themed creation and to share a photo with us using #BAFTABakeOff. We were astounded by the excellent entries and chose four exceptional runners-up for the judges Anton Manganaro and Edd Kimber to pick their winner from.
The Winner
| Three tiered cake with art deco illustrations, embellished with icing figures. By Keiron Murphy, of The Kitschen .Judges Comments:Anton "I love the attention to detail and the skill used to make the characters, it wouldn’t look out of place displayed at the awards." Edd "I chose this to win as there is clearly a lot of skill on display and the style of the cake fits perfectly with BAFTA" |
The Runner Ups
| A dress fit for the red carpet, this fashionista is actually a vanilla and strawberry sponge cake by Melanie Gina.Judges Comments:Anton "She looks great in her dress and the colours used made her stand out" Edd "I love this cake and it captures the glamour and beauty of a BAFTA awards ceremony" |
| Iced BAFTA biscuits with a brownie base by Ruth Furness. They were originally made for a BAFTA ceremony watching party and each guest had to make a speech to earn theirs.Judges Comments:Anton "This reminded me of the day before the awards when they have all been lined up and polished" Edd "Whilst I would love the real thing I would be very happy with a chocolate brownie BAFTA award like these too!" |
| Cupcake stand using Delia's no flour chocolate cake recipe with a fondent icing BAFTA mask by Krysta Pena (@ThePenaSisters) .Judges Comments:Anton "This was a great attempt at the real Award and I loved the film reel and the red carpet in the background" Edd "Great replication of the BAFTA award and the cupcake acting as the base looks delicious too." |
