WARNING: delicious travel treats ahead

ThrOW all those pandemic diet promises out the window - these efforts from travel industry bakers in the inaugural Travel Daily Bake-Off leave no excuse not to indulge. We received scores of entries from some of the most creative culinary minds in Australia, and our only deep regret is that we weren’t able to taste them. The overall winner has been chosen as Janelle Anderson from Queanbeyan City Travel, who each week wowed us with an array of delights including her family favourite lemon and blueberry friands (left) - always made with fresh fruit - with lemon curd injected right into the centre for a vistrous zing.

Janelle also sent a pic of some incredible late night choc chip cookies during chocolate chip week (below right), a carrot cake complete with carrot-shaped decorations (below left) and an absolutely scrumptious caramel slice (below centre) for the first week of the bake-off. She wins a $50 gift card for her stellar efforts.

Thanks to everyone who entered, and next time we run the Bake-Off we hope you’ll be able to share your efforts with your work colleagues in flourishing, vibrant, busy reopened offices!
