MIX IT. BAKE IT. MAKE THEM LOOK TWICE.
Big ideas
Brilliant bakes
A little friendly rivalry
Year 10 teams from schools across the city are invited to showcase their baking skills, represent their school and enjoy a day of creativity and friendly competition.
This year’s challenge: create a show-stopping cake inspired by Real vs Fake. Think food illusion – a bake that looks like something else, with flavour to match its imagination.
Our College Marketing Team will film and share the day on social media, celebrating every participating school.
