Sarah Robb, channel marketing manager at Premier Foods, said: “After being blown away by the creativity we have seen over the last two years, we are extremely excited to be launching this competition.
“We are passionate about helping to inspire children to cook through the McDougalls Young Baking Team of the Year and last year’s theme of using local ingredients was so popular, we are bringing it back.
“Spaldwick Community Primary School used eggs, which were laid by local chickens, and strawberries grown nearby to make their winning profiteroles. They certainly set the bar high and we look forward to seeing what this year’s teams will be baking.”
Premier Foods is looking for a school caterer to lead a team of young bakers to crown its new champions who will take home £1,000 worth of kitchen equipment for their school.
Caterers can register online www.premierfoodservice.co.uk and will receive a McDougalls toolkit, which includes product samples, an application form and recipe inspiration.
