The Great Lawley Bake Off

On Sunday 7 May, we’ll be bringing the Bake Off to Lawley!

Everybody from the age of four and up is invited to take part and cook up some culinary delights, then have them judged to see who really is the greatest baker in the land!

The competition has been organised in partnership with the Lawley Partnership Board as part of our King’s Coronation celebrations in May.

Ages 4 – 10: Create-a-Crown

If you’re a younger person aged between 4 – 10 years old, your job is going to be to design/colour-in a crown fit for a king – or at least a cake!

The winning entry will not only win a hamper full of chocolate goodness, but The Farmstead will use your design to decorate the cake they will be making!

How do you take part?

Grab the handy crown template below (click for a full-size version suitable for printing), design your crown, and have your parents/guardians either drop it off or mail it to:

Lawley & Overdale Parish Council  

Leonard Smith House
Unit 2, West Centre Way
Lawley
Telford
TF3 5HT

If you scan it in or make it digitally, have your parents/guardians email your entry to events@lawleyoverdale.org.uk.

Either way, make sure you get your entries in before 26 April 2023, and make sure they include your name and contact details!

Ages 11 – 17: The Great Lawley Bake Off, Teenager Edition

Young people aged between 11 – 17 have their own Great Lawley Bake Off category!

It’s the same deal as the Adults category. Grab some ingredients and put together the most delicious, most gorgeous cake you can possibly bake, and bring it along to the competition on Sunday 7 May for judgement!

The cakes will be marked on their taste and presentation (king or coronation themed, if possible) at our Coronation Event on 7 May at Lawley Primary School. We will have a special guest to judge and announce the winner.

The baker of the winning cake will be granted a huge hamper of chocolate goodness, along with the pride of knowing that you’re the grandest baker in the Kingdom!

Ages 18 and over: The Great Lawley Bake Off (Adults)

If you’re an adult, you will be entering the main competition – The Great Lawley Bake Off.

We’re asking the best bakers in the whole parish to grab their baking implements, and whip up a cake fit for a king!

Bring your creation along to the competition on Sunday 7 May, where it will be judged.

The cakes will be marked on their taste and presentation (king or coronation themed, if possible) at our Coronation Event on 7 May at Lawley Primary School. We will have a special guest to judge and announce the winner.
