Glasgow, United Kingdom, September 11, 2009 The X Factor's Glasgow auditions have taken place at Hampden Park football stadium on a rather rainy Saturday in May. This will be the first time the judges have met for the new show. As part of the show format Bradfords Bakers have been asked to design a special shortbread X Factor shaped logo which is to be handed out to the waiting auditionees.

The company was approached in late April to create a replica of the famous X Factor logo and to create miniature versions which could be given to the crowd awaiting the arrival of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole.

Bradfords have been making quality natural products since 1924 and was voted Glasgow's favourite business with the largest vote in the competition's 10 year history. To create the logo the confectioners used icing on a large cake board which was then trimmed with red icing. The bakers created by hand the famous X logo in all butter shortbread which was then attached to the board and the lettering was piped in place.

Simon Cowell was asked his opinion of the miniature shortbread and proceeded to eat one of the small X Factor logo shortbread's, Simon quipped "Im half Scottish and this is the best shortbread i have tasted".
