Medal and Trophy Cakes to Celebrate the Return of The Great British Bake Off


Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past week you'd know that last week saw the return of The Great British Bake Off. Now on season five, the show has captivated the hearts and tummies of millions of people (in fact, 7.2 million people tuned into watch the first episode -  just proving its popularity)!

To us, that says we are a nation who loves to bake! We simply can't resist the smell of warm chocolate brownies or the satisfaction of icing a cupcake to perfection. If you're an avid baker, or know someone who is, have you considered having your bake ware personalised? This option is perfect for giving someone a completely unique gift, for awarding a prize at your own bake off or simply for yourself. Here's some examples of what we can do:

  1. We can etch onto glass cake stands
  2. Laser engrave wooden accessories such as wooden spoons
  3. Laser engrave onto plastic accessories such as spatulas and mixing spoons
  4. Etch onto glass mixing bowls/engrave metal mixing bowls/laser engrave other materials.

The possibilities are endless! So, seriously, next time you're stuck for gift ideas or if you want to get yourself something special, personalising your baking tools is a fantastic solution.

Personalise your wooden spoons!

Fantastic gift idea

Anyway, in light of the recent comeback, we thought we'd celebrate by sharing the best trophy and medal inspired cakes we could find on the web. We love medals and awards but we also love cake so we really tried hard to find our favourites. We wonder what Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood would think of these delights...


The World Cup Showstopper!

This World Cup replica cake is fantastic. The shape, design and detail is so accurate. Seems a shame to eat it - any guesses on flavour?

The World's Best Dad Showstopper Award

All we want to know is how to cut into it to eat it?!

The Perfect Medal

Now this is the kind of medal we want to win! We'll be turning 40 in a couple of years, so by all means we'll except this kind of treat!

The Double Whammy

A medal cake with a trophy used for decoration. Full marks for combining the two!

The Realistic Individual

These fun, individual cakes are the most realistic in our collection because of their size and detail. We wouldn't mind tucking into one (or two or three) of these!

The Oscar Showstopper

We love all the extra details in this cake, from the red carpet leading up to the Oscar to the red rope around the outside.

The Detailed and Divine Showstopper

Another cake with exquisite detailing. We want to know what it tastes like too! Any guesses?
