Islanders suffering withdrawal symptoms now the Great British Bake-Off’s rolling pins have been hung up until next year, are being invited to take part in a local cake challenge.

Judging will take place at 4 pm on Sunday, when the cakes will be tasted, then winners announced and prizes awarded in two categories - adult and under-16. The cakes will be judged on appearance, originality and flavour and anyone who fancies themselves as a baking champion must get their bake to the Island’s Country Life Museum on Saturday 18 October.

Sponsored by Jersey Tourism and now in its 19th year, La Faîs’sie d’Cidre is an essential date in the community calendar.
