A commemorative fair was held by Warminster Town Council in honour of the Platinum Jubilee on Saturday, with a local Bake Off being part of the celebration.
The Mayor of Warminster, Councillor Chris Robbins, opened the Fair having judged cakes that were submitted for the Civic Centre ‘Bake Off’, along with Councillors Phil Keeble and Sue Fraser.
The entries varied from three-tier show stoppers to a 3D stamp with the Queen’s profile and a corgi wearing a bejewelled crown.
The winner of the Junior Bake off, Anna, created a three tier fondant iced sponge cake adorned with chocolate crowns, jelly baby Royal Guards and a union flag flying high on top of the cake.
Meanwhile, Charlie, the winner of the adult category, created a 3D profile of the Queen’s head adorned with multiple sugar craft flowers using marzipan fondant icing.
Both winners were awarded a ‘Bake off Winner’ certificate Star Baker trophy and wooden Spoon. The runners up received a star baker certificate and a wooden spoon.
Children were also encouraged to arrive in fancy dress with a royal theme.
King Alfred arrived sword in hand along with a couple of princesses and corgis. The winner, Princess Jasmine, and runner-up, King Arthur, were presented with vouchers and certificates.
