Ready, Steady, Bake!
Overview
Tasty Team Building and Team Baking . . .
We have cooked up an event which requires teams to roll up their sleeves and use their loaves to create a delicious selection of sweet and savoury baked goodies.
Each team is supplied with their own purpose built baking station. Our professional chef will show you how to bake some delectable dishes before pitting the teams against each other in a fun, competitive and quintessentially British event!
So don chefs’ hats and aprons in this truly tasty baking team building event. You’ll go home with a fuller tummy, new skills and your own hat… But will you be complimented on “your buns” and “dough balls” or will smoke alarms ring out the theme tune of your baking disasters?!
About
Event Format
After a short demonstration, the chef will challenge the teams to make a variety of bakery and pastry items. Teams go head to head, against the clock to make, bake and ice a selection of seasonal goods!
As the event gets underway, there will be no use crying over spilt milk… teams will have to roll up their sleeves as well as their pastries and co-ordinate together to create hunger inducing treats!
Once time’s up, chef will judge your bakes; has your team and your dish risen to the challenge, or has your filo flopped and your display debacle spelt disaster?

FAQs
Ready, Steady, Bake!: Frequently Asked Questions
After a demonstration from a professional chef, teams move to their own baking stations and race against the clock to produce a selection of sweet and savoury goods. The finished bakes are then presented for judging.
The menu can include seasonal bakery and pastry items that teams need to make, bake, decorate or ice. The exact selection is planned for the event, so participants will discover which techniques they need to master on the day.
No. The chef demonstrates the relevant methods before the competition begins. Teams can divide the work between weighing, mixing, pastry preparation, decorating, presentation and timekeeping, giving beginners several ways to contribute.
Yes. Each group works from a purpose-built mobile baking station supplied with the relevant equipment and ingredients. Chef's hats and aprons are also provided to complete the bakery atmosphere.
The chef judges the finished bakes once time expires. Quality matters, but strong organisation and time management are equally important; an ambitious idea cannot score well if the team fails to bake or present it properly.
No. Ready, Steady, Bake focuses on the competitive corporate bake-off experience. Bake A Difference adds a specific charitable outcome, with suitable finished goods intended for community organisations or charities.
The mobile setup can transform many offices, hotels and event venues into a temporary baking kitchen. The proposed room and access should be checked beforehand to make sure the equipment can be accommodated.
The event lasts approximately three hours. This provides time for the chef's demonstration, preparing several items, baking, decorating and completing the final judging.
Ready, Steady, Bake is suitable for approximately 5 to 150 participants. The group is divided between baking stations so that participants remain actively involved rather than watching one demonstration from the back of the room.
Successful bakers need to follow a plan, sequence jobs carefully and communicate when several things require attention at once. It is a light-hearted way to reveal whether a team delegates effectively or leaves everything until the timer is nearly finished.
