The cake loving coordinators of Castlemaine Artists Market are challenging everyone who thinks they can turn out a pretty impressive cake to get cracking and enter this Sunday’s Colossal Cake-Off. 
This Sunday marks the popular market’s 13th birthday and the return of the Colossal Cake-Off is a very apt way to celebrate, says the market’s manager Rachel Valentyne who is co-coordinating the cake-based event.
The Colossal Cake-Off proved an instant hit with market goers when it ran over the last two years, going down with well with cake bakers and eaters alike and raising funds to help run Castlemaine’s award-winning Main FM 94.9 community radio station in the process.
