Get the Baking Bug at the Chesil Beach Centre

The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre will host a baking event this weekend with the opportunity to enter your best baking or come along with the kids to decorate a gingerbread wildlife shape. Masterchef winner Mat Follas, of Chesil Beach Café and The Wild Garlic, will be judging all the entries and the winners will be invited to submit their recipes to a Dorset Wildlife Trust Best Bakes recipe book.

The cake classes are: chocolate brownies; Dorset apple cake; a cake with at least 1 vegetable in it; open class for your family favourite cake; cup cake class with a wildlife decoration; and a decorated gingerbread shape. There will also be the opportunity to try some of DWT’s current Best Bakes and stock up on gifts and stocking fillers for Christmas in the Centre’s shop.

Emily Brown, Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Discover Chesil Officer, said: “Chesil Beach is a wonderful place to visit, especially on a blustery winter’s day. Bring along your Best Bake and get the kids involved in some gingerbread decoration. Then round off your visit with some fresh air on the beach!”
