This Friday, 16th June is National Fudge Day and the seven Fudge Kitchen shops are using the opportunity to unleash their loosely veiled competitiveness (as loosely veiled as Dastardly & Muttley’s), racing against each other to produce the most fudge in one day; while raising money for their 2017 chosen charity, The Lily Foundation, which supports research into and families affected by Mitochondrial Disease.
The rules …
In what promises to be The Wacky Races of the fudge world …
• Seven artisan teams in Bath, Cambridge, Canterbury, Edinburgh, Oxford, Windsor and York will compete to hand make the most “baguettes” of fudge between 10 am and 5pm on June 16th.
• Quality, as ever, is paramount, with each baguette having to be judged sellable and photographed next to a copy of the day’s newspaper in anticipation of foul play, in a skilled process, detailed in he press release, which usually takes 45 minutes. An average day will see 4 or 5 made by each shop, Fighting talk suggests that a total of 15 is being aimed for on National Fudge Day!
• Watch out for much social sharing of twitter and Facebook (both @facebook) updates across the shops, and hastags: #NationalFudgeDay #GivingAFudgeAboutLily #TheLilyFoundation, plus plenteous riotous You Tube footage.
• Each completed baguette will earn a £10 donation to The Lily Foundation, with further fund raising, including a £1 donation from every 6 slice box of fudge sold, continuing throughout the day.
