THE inaugural Great Noosa Bake Off went off without a hitch as local bakers and cupcake makers gathered at Drysdale Funerals Tewantin for the judging of the best cakes of Noosa on Friday 15 May.
While there were many worthy contenders, Leanne Brandon took out the top honour with her caramel cupcakes with caramel buttercream and salted caramel drizzle, taking home a new espresso machine and $50 IGA voucher.
Other entries included Sweetness Contained’s gluten-free chocolate cupcakes and Mysaka Cakes’ white chocolate mud cupcakes; all of which were delicious.
The event raised over $600 for the Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, with every taste-tester donating a gold coin for the pleasure.
Event organiser Samantha McKiernan said the day was a great success.
“I’m just amazed at the support from the community and the generosity of people,” she said.
