A one-day festival in Edinburgh this month will see the creation of a gigantic, edible map of the city made out of cake - which will then be given away free to lucky visitors.
Cake Fest Edinburgh, which will take place in the Royal Botanic Garden on Midsummer's Day, is one of the main highlights of the Year of Food and Drink 2015 Scotland.
The event's the brainchild of Simon Preston, a food consultant and innovator, who got the idea from an article about the sudden upsurge of interest in home baking. For him it's all about, 'bringing people together and creating something that allows them to celebrate, and be proud of, where they live'.
55 teams of amateur and professional bakers have signed up to produce cake versions of Edinburgh's most famous buildings, memorials and locations. These include: the Castle, Cramond Island, the Scott Monument, the Scottish Parliament Building, the Royal Yacht Britannia, Greyfriars Bobby and the Meadows.
As well as the city's best-known places and edifices, local landmarks like the Dominion Cinema and Cable's Wynd House (commonly known as the Banana Flats), will be replicated in cake form too.
Map building kicks off at noon, and the goodies and activities on offer will include free workshops (which will give festival-goers the chance to take part in the proceedings by assembling the map's roads, rivers, trees, people, taxis, buses and trams); street food; a producers' market; an exhibition on the history of tea; and tea masterclasses and tastings.
When the map's finished each team will vote for their favourite confection-based construction, and the Bakers' Choice Award will be presented by Fiona Hyslop MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Europe and External Affairs. After that, the bakers will slice up their creations and there'll be free cake for all. Tasty!
Cake Fest Edinburgh, June 21 at noon, Inverleith House Lawn, The Royal Botanic Gardens.
