Robert Stordy who was lecturer at the University of Derby, Buxton Campus entered the competition this year and scooped the top award.

Robert said: "The theme for this year was florals, so I created sour cherry, Tonka bean, pistachio Chelsea buns decorated with marzipan cherry blossom."

A spokesperson for the Chelsea Bun awards said we were delighted to announce that Robert Stordy is the outright winner of the adult category of the live tasting World Chelsea Bun Awards 2024 hosted by Partidges of Chelsea.

Owner and Managing Director of Partridges, thought the Chelsea Buns were not only beautiful, but delicious and so creative.
