BGF announced Bake-Off winners
This year’s Bake-Off results have been announced, with the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) revealing that the June 3 charity event raised $25,000 to help fund its work providing support for people living with HIV in New South Wales.
More than 250 people attended Bake-Off’s 25th, or silver jubilee, event, held at Slide Bar. Attendance and money raised were down on last year’s sell-out $30,000+ event, something BGF CEO David Riddell attributed to the day’s unseasonably poor weather.
“Everyone braving the rain to support BGF just goes to show that Bake-Off still holds a special place in the hearts of so many in our community,” he said. “We had a superbly qualified judging panel led by Claire de Lune, with Shauna Jensen, and Kevin Perry from MasterChef.”
The winners were: Best Cake, Roy Hansen; Best Cake Professional, Ritsuho Sato and Naoko Ir; Best Decorated Cake, Jony Mok; Best Cupcakes, Jo Goh; Best Fete Baking, Johnathon McClay; Best Tart, Katrina Thompson; Best Preserves, Duncan Leonch; and Best Non-Edible and Best In Show, Rohan Forkner.
Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.
