The search is officially underway for this year's favorite baker. Colossal Management, LLC is thrilled to announce that it will run the 2022 Greatest Baker Competition on behalf of DTCare, a U.S. 501(c)(3) charity.
The Greatest Baker is an online, public voting Competition hosted by celebrity bakers Alice Fervonia and Sophie Faldo, both finalists from past seasons of the Great British Bake Off. These culinary experts will offer helpful tips throughout the Competition. The Greatest Baker winner will take home the title, $10,000, and a two-page feature in Bake from Scratch Magazine.
Greatest Baker will be operated as part of a fundraising campaign on behalf of DTCare. Donations from votes cast during the Competition will go directly to DTCare, which will then grant the donations, minus Competition fees and costs, to Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, whose mission is to provide financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer nationwide and fund cutting-edge childhood cancer research.
The Competition is sponsored by three companies that are giants in the baking space: Silpat, the maker of a range of non-stick mats and molds that allow bakers to make any kind of pastry or savory dish; Bob's Red Mill, a 100% employee-owned company that makes more than 200 products, including whole grains, stone-ground flours, oats, baking mixes, snacks, and more; and Twinkle Baking Decor, run by a team of passionate bakers who produce a wide selection of gluten-free and nut-free products ranging from sprinkles to frosting.
Anyone interested in registering or learning more about the Competition or prize can visit greatestbaker.com. Public voting opens on Monday, Oct. 24, 2022.
