It’s Koekedoor fever at Stellenbosch Slow Market on 23 July!

With Koekedoor fever still running high after the recent conclusion of season 2, visitors can look forward to meeting top 3 finalist, Sanet Eigelaar as well as the uber talented Kanya Hunt, the queen of chocolate works. Together with the beloved Koekedoor judge Mari-Lous Guy and Errieda du Toit, content producer and author of the show’s Koekedoor book, the team will decide which cake is the most breathtaking and visually appealing of all.

It will also be the very first public launch of Human & Rousseau’s new Koekedoor 2 baking book and enthusiasts can look forward to rubbing shoulders with the television stars, taking a selfie with them and brag with an autograph or two. The Stellenbosch Slow Market will be the ideal location to purchase the book in order to get the royal family of cakes to autograph it.

A Celebrity Pancake Bakeoff will be taking place at 12:00. Ewan Strydom (from Expresso), Vicky Davis (from Pasella) and her musician husband Schalk Joubert, and singer/actress Nedine Blom will be competing to find out who can bake the best pancake. All the funds raised will go to the winner’s charity of choice.

I think that ‘Blink Stefaans’ will be the star of the day though…

The Pancake Ladies of Ommihoek Pannekoek will be showcasing Blink Stefaans (as they affectionately call the pancake machine) from 10:00 to 14:00, selling pancakes in aid of charity at a mere R10 per pancake. This amazing machine can make up to 200 pancakes an hour and it was designed in the 1960’s. How cool is that?! To see Blink Stefaans in action, be sure to visit their Facebook page HERE. All the funds raised by the pancake sales will be pooled together for the pancake bake-off.
