More than 50 bakers are set to compete in the World Bonnag Championships in the Isle of Man later.
Bonnag, a traditional sweet bread, is thought to have been a Manx staple for hundreds of years.

Competition organiser Margy Killey said she hoped the competition would "help keep Manx baking traditions alive".
Entries are expected from all over the island and inquiries have come from the UK.
BONNAG INGREDIENTS:
- 300g Manx Soda Bread flour from the Laxey Mills
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 handfuls of sultanas
- 55g of margarine or butter
- buttermilk
Last year's champions John Teare and Vanessa Callin will both defend their titles.
Ms Killey continued: "Judges will be looking for authentically baked loaves with a good general flavour and a fine overall appearance."
There are three categories, men's, women's and children's and Bert Winkle from Foxdale will be the judge.
The championships will be held at St James' Church during the annual spring concert hosted by John Kennaugh.
