Great Aberdour Bake Off

The Great Aberdour Bake Off is coming...



On Thursday 1st August.

The Bake Off will start at 2pm, when host, Susan Rae will welcome John Whaite and Mrs Lonie.  They will then judge the entries and come up with six finalists. While that happens, Colin from Bread in Fife will do a twenty minute bread making demo.  The finalists will then be announced and given the technical challenge.  While they do  that, John Whaite give a 20 minute interview / Q&A with the audience.  The finalists will then create a showstopper while the audience are given a demo on making macaroons by the Head Pastry Chef from the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews. 

About 3.30pm the winner will be announced and John will do a book signing, and the stalls will be open again for browsing. 

 

If you would like to take part, more information can be found: Aberdour Festival

Fife Baking Club - We're All Going On A Summer Holiday 27th June

Summer has finally arrived, the sun is shining and Fife Baking Club were certainly in a holiday frame of mind. 

Welcome to Lesley and Natasha who came along for the first time.



Hot water and towels were on standby for Sarah and Luisa as both are in full pregnancy bloom with their due dates fast approaching. This means that there will be a couple of new additions at our next meeting.

It was so nice to take time out from my hectic week sit down, relax, eat and chat to everyone.


All the bakes were fabulous (as usual) and it was nice to have a couple of savoury items to break up the sweetness.

Fife Baking Club - We're All Going On A Summer Holiday 27th June

Hooray!!! The sun is finally shining. Summertime is almost here. 

To celebrate, the theme for the next Fife Baking Club meeting will be summer holidays. So think sun, sea and sand, childhood memories of family holidays or it could be a bake from your favourite holiday destination.

The meeting will take place on Thursday 27th June 6-8pm in Reuben's Wine Store, Dunfermline.

Unlike other cake clubs, there are no rules. So whether your preference is cake, biscuit, muffins or bread, you are welcome here. You don't need to be an expert baker to join in, just a love of baking.








If you would like to join me for cake, coffee and chat, please email fifebakingclub@gmail.com with your name and what you will be baking by Friday 15th June.

You can now follow us on Twitter @fifebakingclub and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FifeBakingClub

Fife Baking Club - Fruity Fun 16th May

Fruity Fun was on the quieter side with only six cakes and seven guests but that didn't stop us from having a good night. I would like to give a warm welcome to Sheena and Heather who are the new members of the club. There was even a special guest as Janis brought along her beautiful month old baby girl.


The chat and coffee flowed and considering there wasn't that many of us we still managed to eat quite a lot of cake.
