Great Grog Bake Off

Based on The Great British Bake Off, the ultimate baking battle where passionate amateur bakers compete over the course of 10 episodes, the Grog Shop will host a one-night competition and delicious bake-tasting event inspired by the classic Channel 4 program, back AGAIN by popular demand!

As an audience member, you’ll be sharing in the sweet spoils of the competition by sampling the competing bakes and voting on them live. Your entry fee will go to the winning baker as part of the grand prize pot! Our hosts and judges will entertain you and the contestants with their goofy antics and critiques.

THE CHALLENGE 
Our theme for the latest installment of Bake Off, inspired by the sweet seasonal selection of ripe produce in Northeast Ohio, will be BERRIES! From cakes to croissants and other decadent desserts– for their “Signature Bake” our amateurs can enter any creation into the competition made with seasonal Ohio fruit as the star. They’ll have only one chance to impress the judges, take home the crown, and our grand prize! But wait, they’ll also have the opportunity to win over the audience, who will also be voting for their favorites. So stack that invite list for your chance to win the Popular Vote and get your tickets now to the only event at Grog Shop where you can TASTE the competition.

THE JUDGES 

Kelly Brewer started Bigmouth Donut Company in 2017 with the idea that donuts are much better when made with real ingredients, instead of premade mixes and preservative-enhanced fillings and glazes. To this day, Bigmouth has kept that promise, which also includes a heavy variety of Gluten-Free and Vegan options daily. Bigmouth’s flagship store is in Rocky River, although they are known throughout Cleveland through a large variety of events and markets that they attend. Brewer’s background is in tourism, and he loves all things Cleveland. He knows what tastes good and has a strong, seasoned team around him, including his daughter Brooke, who truly makes the magic happen overnight. The goal of Bigmouth is always to create delicious treats that people want to eat, while honoring the classic donuts that he and others grew up with.

Anna Kiss Mauser-Martinez is the Executive Director of City Fresh, where she works at the intersection of local food systems, community resilience, and equitable access to fresh food. City Fresh offers tiered-pricing farm boxes in neighborhoods throughout Northeast Ohio, and educational programs and a new farmer incubator at its farm in Oberlin.
