ICA news: Mella Winter's cake proves a winning choice

Taghmon Guild member Mella Winters fought off stiff competition in Wexford Federation recently where she won the top prize for her simnel cake.

“When I’m in a competition, I go to a lot of bother. If I thought the first one wasn’t right, I’d make another one,” says the prize-winning baker who has won the simnel cake competition three times now.

Just over two years ago, she won the ‘Take Pride Picnic’ competition and within the last 10 years she won the all-Ireland brown bread competition.
