Bakers win show awards

Local bakers from Bakers Delight in Woy Woy were recognised for their outstanding breads in the annual Newcastle Baking Show on May 20.

The team of Woy Woy bakers placed first for their Grain Cob and Wholemeal Vienna bread and third for their Sourdough Rye and Pane Loaf.

Production manager Mr Darren Machon also took out the Champion Grain Loaf category, one of the four top bread prizes in the competition.

Woy Woy Bakers Delight franchisees Rosemarie and Joseph Mondal said they were thrilled for the team's regional success.

"To win and place in this baking competition really shows the commitment our bakers and staff has towards their product," Ms Mondal said.

"Our production manager Darren Machon and his team of two apprentices James Jarvis and Luke Buggy achieved these results with a lot of hard work and tireless motivation to come out on top."

The Newcastle Baking Show showcased a range of baked products from independent, retail franchise bakeries and large supermarket brands.

According to Ms Mondal, the regional baking competition aims to continue to lift the standard of bread produced in the area and to ensure the art of fresh baking is not lost.
