There are a few places left in the Traditional and ALternative Mince Pie categories which we would dearly love to fill to reach our target of raising over ?500 for Peckham Foodbank. If you, or anyone you know, likes baking please join us!


We also have quite a few places left in the Children's Bakes category - great prizes to be won including tickets to Picturehouse Cinema.

Hello.


I've posted this in the What's On section, but as we have a children's category for children aged 12 and under we thought it might be of interest here to.

For more details visit our website https://bandofbakers.wordpress.com/2015/11/07/mince-pie-bake-off-saturday-5-december-2015/ or our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bakeclubselondon/

Thanks

A couple of additional prizes which have been added:


- champagne breakfast for two at Toast E.D. (not a prize for the children's category?!)

- ?20 voucher for ed on Northcross Road


There will be lots of activities for children of all ages on the day so it would bee great if you have any young budding chefs who would like to join in the festive baking fun and enter the competition.


Every single penny raised is going directly to Peckham Foodbank, so it's all for a great cause.


I realise the Christmas Cracker clashes with some school fairs (and concerts), but bakes can be dropped off from 10am (or earlier by arrangement) and the winners announced much later in the day at 4.15pm. So plenty time to charge around and fit it all in!

Thanks so much for the offer DulwichPianoFestival - so kind! I think we're OK for prizes at the moment.


What we would be really grateful for (from anyone reading this!) is help in spreading the word locally to see if there are any children aged 12 and under who would like to get involved. The adult entries are rolling in, but we need more children to take part so that we can run the children's bake category.


We have raised over ?250 already for Peckham Foodbank but we would love to at least double that.


If children have other commitments that day, they (and their parents) don't need to be around all day - just drop off some time between 10am and 1pm. Then they can come back for the prize giving on Northcross Road at 4.15pm (which is conveniently just before the Little Kids Disco!).


Thank you.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
