A giant jubilee cake, created by Neath Port Talbot College bakery students, will be sold in aid of local charity at the third Gorseinon Food Festival on Saturday, 28th April at the Canolfan Gorseinon Centre. The cake will be cut at midday by Simon Wright, the festival's patron, Swansea Sound presenter, Kev Johns and Bill Sweetman, the festival chairman. Simon, who is a food writer, broadcaster and presenter of BBC Radio's 'Wales on the Menu',will also demonstrate how to cook some of his favourite Welsh dishes with his wife, Maryann during one of the show's cookery sessions.

One winner is Gower- based Jayne Roderick from Welsh Special Treats who recently won two Gold Great Taste awards from the Guild of Fine Foods for her lemon extra marmalade and raspberry and melon jam. She says; 'This is one show I wouldn't miss. The atmosphere is great and I love the opportunity to meet new and regular customers. Everyone will be welcome to try free samples of all my preserves'.

The festival will run from 10am to 5pm with Swansea Sound and The Wave broadcasting 'live' from the show between 12am and 2pm.
