Bellway's Bake-Off welcomes its 2024 winner
Organisers of Bellway Homes’ Brigg Bake-off have announced that the winner of its 2024 competition will be heading into town to defend her title on September 20.
Lucille de Villiers, who originally comes from Centurion in South Africa, won the Bellway’s Bake-off title at Penny Way in Snaith last summer with a delicious Melktert. The traditional South African tart, which is topped with cinnamon, was chosen as the winner by Town Mayor, James Hollas and Deputy Mayor, Joanne Whiteley on the basis it was absolutely delicious, very morish and they’d tasted nothing like it before.
She will be entering another Melktert for 2025, plus a second, still to be revealed treat.
The Brigg Bake-off takes place at Bellway’s Buttercross Meadows development off Wrawby Road on the outskirts of Brigg on Saturday 20th September – and is being run to mark the official opening of its brand-new four bed Forester and four bed Farrier show homes.
Bakers, no matter what their experience, are being asked to bring their culinary delights along from 11am. Where a local dignitary will judge the creations before presenting the winner with a Luxury Bakers Hamper, including a Smeg Stand Mixer along with other baking delights, which is worth over £250.
To enter, all wannabe bakers need to do is e-mail [email protected] to express interest and then bring their baking down to Buttercross Meadows on Saturday 20th September.
