Celebrating Ireland’s Best BakerMary Buckley

Last Friday, 26th September, the Millstreet Active Retired group gathered for a special celebration ahead of our monthly bingo session. The occasion was a joyful one, we came together to honour our very own Mary Buckley, who was recently crowned Ireland’s Best Baker in a prestigious national competition.

The award was part of the first Gala Retail and Virgin Media Television Best Baker competition.

Open to amateur bakers of all ages, the initiative drew hundreds of entries from across the country, culminating in a hotly-contested grand bake-off final at Airfield Estate, Dundrum.

The winners were announced on World Baking Day, Sunday 18th May. Mary’s win is a testament to her skill, creativity, and love for baking. We’re incredibly proud of her and thrilled to see her talent recognized on a national stage.

Congratulations again to Mary Buckley, Ireland’s Best Baker!
