We had a great selection of donated cakes from friends and family, including Lemon Drizzle cakes, a beautiful selection of cupcakes, chocolate brownies and sponge cakes, along with some super tasty Cherry and Almond tarts and Caramel Shortcake kindly donated by the Handmade Cake Company based in Maidenhead.
Although there were less people at the event than the organisers anticipated (the weather was horrendous!), we set out two tables of refreshments in the foyer, and each item was £1 (lots of people kindly threw in a few extra pounds here and there too!) The cakes went down brilliantly, and the left over cake went to our neighbours who kindly made a donation to the CF Trust and took them along to the church, who were very grateful for some homemade cakes to go with their teas and coffees after the service.
Due to our success and managing to cope with a large influx of people, the organisers of the event have asked us to join them again in March where we will hopefully be able to sell lots more cake and juice to raise lots more for the charity.
A massive thanks to my Mum, Dad, Sally and Simon for helping on the night and baking loads of cakes before hand, and to Becky, Holly, Olly, Fran, Hannah, Catherine, and the Handmade Cake Co. for all your kind cake donations!
