To win, the fledgling business must now beat products produced by industry giants Tesco and the Co-op.

Winning the award would establish Wow’s Ultimate Carrot Cake Mix as the best product of its type on UK grocery shelves.

The winners will be announced on Friday, October 21, at the Marriott Grosvenor Square, London, at a networking high tea presented by celebrity chef Phil Vickery.

Susan Craddock, Wow Cake Company managing director, said: “It is a wonderful honour for our product to be listed alongside household names. But now we want to win!
