Two Magpies Bakery Claims Title of Britain’s Best Cake

A Miso Caramel Hazelnut Brownie created by Two Magpies Bakery has been crowned Britain’s Best Cake 2026 in the annual Britain’s Best Cake Awards.

This is the second time the Suffolk-based cafe and bakery group has taken the top prize in the Britain’s Best Cake Awards, having won the competition in 2024 with a salted caramel & almond brownie. In addition to the top prize, Two Magpies also walked away with four other category awards in the Brownies & Blondies, Gluten Free, Mini and Vegan categories.

Britain’s Best Cake Awards aim to find the best cakes the nation has to offer and celebrate the creativity, attention to detail and hard work put in by bakers day in day out.

Judged by a panel of industry experts, Two Magpies’ Miso Caramel Hazelnut Brownie stood out among more than 110 entries across eight categories at the ceremony, which took place at the NEC Birmingham as part of the UK Food and Drink Shows on 13th April.

“We are incredibly proud of our team for creating another award-winning brownie that wowed the judges yet again. All our artisan treats are handmade at our central bakery in Suffolk by our committed team of bakers and they truly are the best team we could wish for,” said Steve Magnall, CEO and owner of Two Magpies Bakery Group.

The winning cake was a dark and milk chocolate brownie with a topping featuring roasted hazelnuts, sea salt and miso caramel shards. The final recipe took months to perfect, with judges commenting that the bake had a “really good depth to it, was made with quality ingredients, and had a bake profile that was perfect.”

“Every award we win is testament to the hard work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes at Two Magpies Bakery. We’ve been baking our hearts out since 2013 and as a second generation business now, with Ben Magnall as director, we plan to continue sharing our passion for incredible baking for many years to come,” adds Steve.

Two Magpies Bakery operates 11 sites across Norfolk and Suffolk, including Norwich, Blakeney, Holt, Woodbridge, Wells-next-the-Sea, Beccles, Aldeburgh, Darsham, Framlingham, Marlesford and Southwold. Britain’s Best Cake Awards aim to discover the best sweet creations on offer from bakeries across the UK.
