The 15th Birthday Bake Off

9th November 2026

As we reach our 15th birthday, celebrate with us by entering our Birthday Bake Off!

We are on the search for the UK’s best hedgehog cake.

We welcome all creations, whether they are wonderfully arty or absolutely wacky. We will also have a special category for best conservation message, so get your thinking caps on.

Remember to show off your baking creations on social media as well, using #HedgehogStreetBakeOff

See some of our favourites from our 10th birthday celebrations for inspiration below.
