Today is National Cake Day – and to celebrate, the Rutherglen Reformer has teamed up with Speciality Cakes in Cambuslang in the quest to find the area’s star baker.
By simply sending us a picture of you or your child with a homemade cake creation, you could be in with a chance of winning a bespoke cake, especially created to your own design specification, by master confectioners at Speciality Cakes.
David McColl, manager at Speciality Cakes on Cambuslang Main Street, and his team are making a name for themselves by creating show-stopping cakes that can only be described as works of art.
Eager to have a slice of the National Cake Day action, David’s business is one of the few of its kind in Scotland to bake their own cakes on the premises.
The Cambuslang store’s recent, jaw-dropping creations include a Madagascar cake for a little boy’s first birthday, a zombie bride cake for Halloween, and even a pair of lifelike pug cakes for a doting dog lover.
Now, David is offering readers who send in snaps of themselves and their creations a chance to win a cake, expertly crafted by his skilled confectioners. His team will take the winner’s creative ideas and design specifications and turn them into a cake, to the value of £50.
Send your pictures, name and number to news@rutherglenreformer.co.uk or message us on Facebook to be in with a chance of winning. Pictures will appear in future editions of The Reformer. The winner, who must agree to be photographed with their prize, will be notified by phone by November 11.
It’s a piece of cake. Get baking!
