Stop what you’re doing - we have our finalists in the National Cupcake Championships 2015! 

The very best entrants in each of six categories have made it through to the live final at Bakels’ test bakery in Bicester.

Judges were impressed with the standard of entries with innovation prevalent in all categories.

Congratulations to our finalists - we shall see you on 14 September, the first day of National Cupcake Week 2015, when a panel of judges will perform the ultimate test of taste to determine category winners and one overall champion.

Finalists will also be treated to two chocolate masterclasses put on by sponsor Barry Callebaut, which are worth up to £300 per person.

The event is sponsored by Barry Callebaut, online ordering service Hello and… and hosted by British Bakels.
