Cake makers have less than 24 hours to get their entries in for Britain’s Best Cake 2026.
The deadline – midnight on Monday 23 February – is less than 24 hours away so get your entries in ASAP.
Taking place on Monday 13 April at the Birmingham NEC as part of the UK Food & Drink Shows 2026, the competition will see cakes battle it out in nine categories (see full list below) to see which is the best brownie, celebration cake, classic cake, and more. New for this year is the Modern Cake category which celebrates cakes which bring innovation to the table in terms of flavour, format, and decoration.
Sponsored by Dawn Foods, Kluman & Balter, Rainbow Dust, Shuffle-Mix, and St. Ewe Free Range Eggs, the cakes are judged by an esteemed panel of experts including a senior product development manager for Co-op, innovation manager at Mademoiselle Desserts, not one but two Rising Star Award winners, and a host of other cake connoisseurs.
Judged on appearance, bake, aroma, mouthfeel, and taste, the category winners are named before moving on to a final round of judging to find the cake worthy of being crowned Britain’s Best Cake 2026.
There are nine categories to enter:
- Blondies & Brownies
- Celebration Cake
- Classic Cake
- Gluten Free Cake
- Fruit Cake
- Mini Cakes
- Modern Cake
- Traybake
- Vegan Cake
Wirral-based Abba Cakes, which created last year’s overall champion The Chocolate Cake, benefitted from local, national, and international media coverage, as well as queues down the street and a visit from the mayor in the aftermath of the competition.
