After a long weekend of baking night and day I arrived in work Monday morning delighted to see the others had made similar efforts with their cake baking.
- Hayley’s array of cupcakes made the most vivid of rainbow’s look black and white.
- Deniz’s (I mean Tarkan and Deniz’s) efforts could have supplied a bakery for 3 weeks complete with doughnut muffins, whoopee pies & carrot cakes.
- Taras proved quite the crafty baker whipping up some delicious lemon butterfly cakes.
- Adam chocolate chipped in with cookies, butterfly cakes and his Nan’s homemade Victoria sponge!
I was obviously bread to bake and my buns went down a treat, providing the most shop-like of
chocolate cupcakes and muffins.
After setting up in reception downstairs we very reasonably priced up our goods ready to sell to the generous workers in our building. Other than the position of our cake stall other measures were of course in place to ensure no one could avoid the wrath of ‘pressure charity cakes’.
These included mass emails and posters in both lifts and so unless you had pre-planned and brought your lunch in, there was no avoiding us.
With these SAS tactics in place the produce went like hotcakes and soon we had made loads of dough (My thanks go to Laurence for that one), in fact by 2.00 pm they had all scone.
There was however one complaint: that there weren’t enough tarts on sale but the muff-in more than made up for it.
Apologies to all for cheesy puns! Thanks to all who bought our cakes - £200 was eventually raised.
