Easter Bun Competition Cancelled

Organisers of the annual Champion Easter Bun Bake Off have cancelled this year’s event due to the Christchurch earthquake.

Goodman Fielder National Field Sales Manager, Paul Howley, said the company was originally planning to hold the South Island judging session in Christchurch.

“As a mark of respect to so many of our South Island competitors whose lives and businesses are now so tragically in a state of disarray and can no longer compete in the Bake Off, we have decided to cancel this year’s event.”

Paul said Goodman Fielder would be donating the Easter Bun Bake Off prize money towards the rebuild of Christchurch.

Goodman Fielder will notify bakers who have registered for the event of the decision to cancel.
