Baking enthusiasts are in for a treat as tickets are now on sale for a brand-new event at this year’s Bolton Food and Drink Festival – Cake, Create and Celebrate.
Part of the festival’s 21st birthday celebrations, this exciting new experience invites adults and children to roll up their sleeves and get creative in a hands-on cupcake decorating workshop, led by expert bakers Baking Nana and Jill Howard.
Taking place on Sunday 30 August, 12pm – 2pm at the Festival Hall in the Albert Halls, the interactive session promises a fun atmosphere for all ages, combining expert demonstrations with plenty of opportunities for guests to get involved.
Learn a range of decorating techniques, from piping and buttercream finishing to adding creative toppings, before putting your new skills into practice by decorating their own cupcakes.
Each guest will receive two cupcakes to decorate and take home, along with a slice of birthday cake and two glasses of prosecco, with non-alcoholic options available.
The session also includes a relaxed Q&A with the experts, offering baking tips and advice, and a chance to showcase creations, with a prize awarded for the best decorated cupcakes.
The event is hosted by award winning cake artist and presenter Rosie Dummer and is designed to be informal, social and interactive, making it perfect for both novice bakers and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
Cllr Debbie Newall, Bolton Council’s Executive Cabinet Member for Culture said:
