The Results Are In

Thank you all so much for your FABULOUS submissions to the 2020 Great Blogger’s Bake-Off and Summer Picnic.  We had over 60 submissions, from bakers and chefs of all ages.  WOW!!!!!!  You all did such an AMAZING job.  In fact, you all did so well that not only did you make me VERY hungry, but you also made my job as judge, very, very difficult.  We had a very international picnic this year, with recipes and photos coming in from all over the world.  We had everything from beverages, to desserts and cakes, to breads, to savory dishes.  Our picnic basket was definitely very full, with so many fantastic foods.  This is one great picnic.

Because we had so many submissions and so many categories, I am only going to show the winners for this year’s contest.  But in reality, YOU ARE ALL WINNERS!

And the Winners Are:

Many, many thanks to Mel at

for all of her hard work and dedication for making this fantastic summer “picnic” the huge success that it was.  This could not have been possible without her. She is the driving force behind this whole event.

    Let the winners know that if they want to feature it, I will send them a 2020 STAR BAKER logo they can feature on their sites…if they want to. ❤

      1. Will do Tandy!!!
        I have been adapting the badge slightly, but I will email it to you and also as it might be easier for some to copy and paste, we will publish it in a password protected post so that the winners can access it and then copy and paste it.

    How exciting! My drum set cake is the winner in the cakes category of The Great Bloggers’ Bake Off. There are 5 other categories and two of the other winners are my lovely blogging friends, Geoff le Pard and Tandy Sinclair. I was delighted to meet the other three winners as well as all the other participants in this challenge. Such a lot of wonderful food and delightful recipes to try out. Congratulations to everyone who entered and thanks to Mel and Gary for organising and Jeanne for judging.

  11. gulp, I’m rather overwhelmed. Thank you Jeanne. And blimey what a huge thank you to Mel and of course Gary for his inspiration (sic) and commitment to the cause of takeaways. Thank and well done all the winners (not that I’m surprised to see the poly-blogging-math Ms R Cheadle here – she is an inspiration!) I think I’ve go and have some toast…
