In a search for the most exciting product to add to its range of sweet treats, the family-run retailer, which has branches in Mansfield and Sutton, is encouraging cake enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience to share their designs.
The winning baker will get to work with the expert team at Birds to develop their product, before it hits the shelves in October as part of its Halloween range.

“We want to meet these British bakers.
“We love baking because it unites everyone.
“There’s no age limit to this competition, because we want to see the full range of what our customers can dream up.
“As well as our core range of classic cakes, our team does like to celebrate each season with some suitable products.
"Everyone loves our hot cross bun loaves, and our delicious orange carrots at Easter, heart cupcakes and chocolate frogs for Valentine’s Day, and of course, our mince pies and gingerbread reindeers at Christmas.
