Catering through the generations

Finishing Touches

Finishing Touches is the static display class organised by LACA in association with the Craft Guild of Chefs, aimed at all levels of staff employed in any aspect of local authority catering capable of producing excellent craft pieces. 


The display class provides entrants with the opportunity to show off their hidden talents not normally seen during their everyday profession.

Sponsored by Schwartz for Chef and SuperCook, there are six categories to enter:


cold canapés

tray garnishes

decorated celebration cake

decorated novelty cake

biscuits

petits fours

The criteria for each category is set by the Craft Guild of Chefs and Senior members of the Craft Guild will judge the entries during the LACA conference.
 
Certificates of Gold, Silver and Bronze are awarded to those who achieve the highest standards and a Best in Class is picked in each category as well as Best in Show from all four categories.
 
The competition is run during the annual LACA Conference & Exhibition at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole.
