Bakery Apprentice Scoops Prize

One of our young bakers has recently been rewarded for his efforts in a national bakery competition.  Ross Cameron took 2nd prize in the inaugural James Allan Memorial Competition held recently at the Scottish Association of Master Baker's training centre at Larbert.

A total of six finalists did battle in the bakery and had to produce either a loaf of bread or four rolls and also a sweet product such as fondant fancies or fresh cream cakes. Ross chose to make four morning rolls and also four fondant fancies. The judges were impressed with the overall standard of the products presented to them. The fondant fancies produced by Ross came in for particular praise as being innovative and well crafted confections.

Although he missed out on the 1st prize by a mere three points, he was pleased to have been involved and delighted to receive his runners-up shield and cheque for £100. Ross said, “I'm looking forward to going one step further next year and winning the competition.”

The James Allan Memorial Competition was set up to encourage young bakers aged under 22 to enhance their skills by competing for a trophy and prize money on an annual basis. The son of the late James Allan, Mr. Hamish Allan, a retired baker from near Glasgow, has donated a substantial sum of money to allow the competition to be run in perpetuity.
