Come and join us for an amazing baking competition inspired by the Great Kiwi Bake Off. We have TV star Hugo Bussell (2022 Great Kiwi Bake Off contestant) joining us as our star judge.
Skills4Living and The Hope Hub are partnering to bring you this very special competition, open to ALL ages and abilities.
Roll up your sleeves,
Dust off that rolling pin,
Grab those baking and cake decorating books
All to showcase your family favourites and decorating skills.
You never know... you might win one of our amazing prizes, that include a bench mixer, cake decorating tools and even fabulous baking tins (just to name a few)!
In the afternoon the public can come and see your amazing creations, buy lunch, take part in some free craft activities, buy a raffle ticket or 2!
And then there will be "Name the teddy bear" and kids can design and enter their dream birthday cake drawing into our competition to win it being made for their next birthday!

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
