The winners of this year’s Richemont Club of Great Britain competition have been announced, following judging at Bakers’ Fair in Manchester over the weekend.

Elaine Hamey and Lisa Smith (pictured right) of Peter Herd of Wilmslow wowed the gathering visitors by winning the President’s Challenge Cup after being challenged on the day to make a circus-themed celebration cake as part of the Richemont Club competitions. And the Best in Show accolade went to Richard Griffiths of Glovers Bakery for his outstanding Multigrain Cob.
