Seeking the rising stars of the bread world!

Could you be the first-ever Tiptree Patisserie Trainee Baker 2017?

If you are an apprentice baker or studying to become a baker, this is your great chance to prove yourself at the Tiptree World Bread Awards with Brook Food 2017!

Tiptree Patisserie, the fast-growing baking arm of Tiptree, preserve makers in Essex by royal appointment, is sponsoring a new category especially for the young up and coming stars of the baking world.

“We are really delighted to support this category,” says Daren McGrath, Managing Director of Tiptree Patisserie. Indeed, it was McGrath who conceived the idea, on his journey back to Essex on the train after a long day’s judging at the 2016 Awards.

“At Tiptree Patisserie, we take the training of young people very seriously and I feel it’s really important the Tiptree World Bread Awards have a dedicated category to recognise the hard work and talent of that sector which sits between young enthusiasts and professional bakers.”

The Tiptree World Bread Awards with Brook Food are now in their fifth flour-dusted year, and there will be 100 judges making their way to Cathedral Hall, Westminster Cathedral in September to nibble, munch and debate their way through the hundreds of loaves submitted.

Entry Criteria:
2 loaves to be submitted which will be judged as a pair: one x 454g White Tin loaf and one x 454g Wholemeal Tin loaf. For the purposes of this competition, ‘Trainee’ is defined as an Apprentice Baker or a student (full or part-time) currently attending a baking course at a recognised United Kingdom bakery school or college
