The popular Jenkins Bakery has scooped two prizes in national competitions.
The Llanelli-based bakery was successful in the The National Association of Master Bakers’ bakery competitions at the Bakers’ and Butchers’ Spring Fair at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern.
“It’s a double delight for us as a business,” said operations director Russell Jenkins.
“What is particularly pleasing is that the wins went to two of our youngest members of staff.
“We believe in nurturing young talent here at the Jenkins Bakery and the two winners created top quality showpiece products to beat off stiff competition from the rest of the UK.”
Natasha Fuge’s winning design at the Spring Fair was in the Celebration Cake category and was inspired by impending birth of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s baby.
Trainee Alex Cowell won first for her cupcakes.
And Alex also won a special prize of a training day with television’s Fabulous Baker Brothers at their Cotswolds HQ.
The prizes were picked up at the Spring Fair by Sarah Williams, cake department manager at the Jenkins Bakery, who received the honours on behalf of the team from the National President of the National Association of Master Bakers, Christopher Freeman, and TV personality Christine Hamilton.
