Our Coronation Baking Triumph!

Our residents entered the spirit of the coronation this month by baking fairy cakes for the recent St Andrew’s Church coronation cake competition. Helped by our cook Helen, they spent the afternoon mixing, baking, and decorating. John told us “this is the first time I’ve ever made a cake!”. Margaret and Muriel shared their best tips and tricks for creating a light sponge cupcake. After the judging, we found out that our resident’s cakes were Highly Commended and our cook Debbie had won first in the Professional Category for her Coronation Fruit Cake! Well done to our bakers and well done Debbie – the prizes were very much deserved. All the cakes were sold to raise money for our charity and the Corbridge Youth Initiative – thank you to all the organisers, judge Carol Malia and everyone who bought a cake.
