PappaRoti will celebrate its fifth anniversary by raising funds for breast cancer research with a Pink Bake Off competition.
The first part of the competition will see contestants judged against a wide range of criteria that includes speed of sales, presentation and taste, which will be judged by a panel for the baked goods that they will prepare at home and sell, to raise funds.
The two winners of the bake sale will then go head-to-head in a MasterChef-style live bake-off battle, with the task of creating three versions of the PappaRoti bun.
After the finalists’ efforts are judged, the winner’s creation will be sold in select PappaRoti stores throughout the month of October, with all funds going to breast cancer research.
Additionally, the winner will walk away with an AED35,000 (US $9529) prize which includes AED25,000 (US $6807) worth of jewellery from F R Hueb Jewellery, a spa day for the winner and nine of their friends at the Saray Spa at the JW Marriott Marquis, a pink stand mixer from Tavola and professional cake decorating classes.

"I believe that every individual and organisation can play a vital role in supporting such important causes in our society.
“We at PappaRoti extend our absolute support and dedication to help raise funds for breast cancer research and raising awareness on the importance of early detection and regular self-examination.”
The Gourmet Pink Bake-off will take place at PappaRoti’s 2nd floor Dubai Mall location on September 18.
