After a thrilling journey of three bake-off challenges and a tough judging panel, Woolworths is proud to reveal the winner of its highly anticipated annual Baker of the Year competition. Amongst the impressive array of talent from a record 146 entries across Aotearoa, one baker rose above the rest, with Karli Colmer-Cornish from Woolworths Dargaville taking out the top spot!
The judges were blown away by Karli’s baking techniques after she created three delicious submissions that could find a spot on Woolworths shelves across the country next year. Karli’s skills made for a great show – helping her take home the prestigious title of national Woolworths Baker of the Year and a cheque for $4000. She will now go on to represent NZ and go up against the best Aussie Woolworths bakers.
Woolworths’ annual Baker of the Year competition is a celebration of baking brilliance across Aotearoa. The platform empowers Woolworths’ immensely talented bakers to showcase their exceptional abilities to industry connoisseurs and this year’s competition has been nothing short of spectacular! It was judged by baking experts from Champion, Woolworths and Manukau Institute of Technology at MIT in Auckland.
The other finalists were Shehan Sameera Nandasiri from Woolworths Katikati, Tiffany Corlett from Woolworths Feilding and Kyle van de Vondervoort from Woolworths Amberley.
