An Oxfordshire baker has made the final of a competition to find Britain's best office baker.

Natalie Steer, from Witney, will now compete in a live final on Wednesday (November 13) at London’s Divertimenti Cookery School.

Ms Steer was selected from dozens of office bakers who submitted their finest creations to Zyliss, the Swiss kitchenware brand.

At the final the three talented finalists will go head-to-head, creating their best carrot cakes in front of a panel of expert judges.

Ms Steer, who works for a dry-cleaning brand in Witney, said: "I’ve always loved baking, whether it’s whipping up a batch of brownies for my family or surprising my colleagues with something sweet to brighten their day.

"I actually started our own office baking competition to add a bit of fun and friendly rivalry to the workplace, and it’s become a much-anticipated event each year.

"Being chosen as a finalist for the Best Office Baker competition is such an exciting opportunity, and I’m thrilled to take my passion for baking beyond our office walls.”

The Best Office Baker competition launched during National Baking Week in October to showcase the hidden talents of bakers in workplaces across the country.

The finalists were chosen for their "creativity, presentation, and passion for baking".

Heidi Thomas, from DK Household Brands, said: “Our Best Office Baker contest has been an incredible journey, allowing us to discover the hidden baking talents that light up offices across the UK.

"Each of these finalists brings something special to the table, and we can’t wait to see their creativity shine in the final.”
