Quick and easy bakes for a delicious day out

From time to time, I am asked to work on the demonstration stage at various food festivals which are held across the country.

Most festivals are held during the summer months, although here in Wakefield we celebrate our special crop, rhubarb, in February.

In France there are festivals to celebrate the most unusual things, a potato festival, a sausage festival and a donkey festival, to name just a few!

This coming Sunday I am travelling to Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire to the festival there. It is being held in the grounds of Princess Anne's estate, which does sound quite fancy.

I have three slots on the stage, and after some consideration I have decided to do a pastry slot, a cake slot and a cooking slot.
