From delicious chocolate cakes to animal and Disney character-shaped delights, the best bakers in the borough showed off their cake-crafting talents at the Heart.
As part of the Walton Food Festival on Saturday, May 31, bakers went head-to-head to create their finest treats, which were judge on presentation, skill, creativity and taste.
Bakers were split in to three categories, aged four to 11-years-old, 12 to 18-years-old and over 18s, and were judged by former Great British Bake-off series three contestant Cathryn Dresser and Mark Lloyd from River Cottage.
Cooking demonstrations, masterclasses, food stalls and a kids’ club workshop were also on offer at the festival.
