Executive chef Daniel Payne with winner of The Great Oyster Box Bake Off, Sherae Zwart.
THE Great Oyster Box Bake Off, held at the Oyster Box last Friday, saw 26 talented bakers go head-to-head in a celebration of creativity and culinary flair.
And of course, the Northglen News was there to witness it all unfold.
The event featured a stunning array of cakes and cupcakes, with unique flavour infusions and decorative variations that made judging especially challenging.
In the end, four winners were crowned; with third place ending in a tie due to the exceptional quality on display.
Judges noted the innovation and skill that each baker brought to the table.
