The winning entry will receive a Lakeland Dairies activity pack, including a cocktail shaker, Relish Aqua Paint set and a case of Millac Gold Double. Every entry will also receive a helpful roll of piping bags.
Jean Cattanach, marketing controller Lakeland Dairies, commented: “We had a truly fantastic response to last year’s competition. We were so delighted to see care homes enjoying a fun and entertaining Christmas activity using our deliciously versatile Millac Gold Double, that we have bought it back for a second year.
“In 2021 we awarded Russell Churcher Court care home first place for their beautiful drink collages and exceptional creativity, and we can’t wait to see what exciting ideas this year’s competition will bring. To support care caterers even further we have also released our fortified recipe and activity resource, Fortified Focus: Festive Tipples. This resource demonstrates how to deliver fortified food and drink in a delicious, appetising and engaging way.”
Each recipe in the resource has been created by Lakeland Dairies, a registered dietitian or a specialist care home chef. The drinks are fortified with Lakeland Dairies 100% Dairy Skimmed Milk Powder, which has the 'ideal combination of protein and calories'.
Lakeland Dairies creates professional dairy products for chefs which have been carefully crafted and treated to have great taste, and to provide a longer life for added convenience in busy kitchens.
To enter, residents can draw, paint, or make their cocktail, before photographing it, and emailing the designs to competitions@lakelanddairies.com by midnight on the 4th December 2022.
