Village Fete Baking Competition 2025 – Winning Prize Donated By Kutchenhuas Reading

Calling all bakers!

This year’s challenge is to create a classic, traditional, or iconic sponge cake. The flavour and decoration are completely up to you — but remember, it must be a sponge!

Our expert judges will be tasting each entry as usual, but this year we’re adding a new twist — you, the public, get a say too! Everyone attending the fete will be invited to sample the entries and cast a vote using a token for their favourite cake.

Will your bake rise to the top? Who will be crowned Theale’s Star Baker 2025?

We recently held a Macmillan Coffee Morning and would like to extend a massive thank you to all those who took the time to bake and give up their time to make the morning so lovely. Your contributions, whether it was a delicious cake or simply your presence, made the event truly special. We are immensely grateful for your support in raising funds for such an important cause, and it was heartwarming to see our community come together in such a meaningful way. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
