The weather was very warm, but the students were calm and organised which resulted in some amazing results, especially considering the age range of the students.

The cakes were judged by Mrs Nicki Steggles who also runs the cookery club at Rydon, and Mrs Donna Pegler a professional cake maker and decorator and they based the results on their originality, construction and taste. Mrs Pegler said, “ 2 hrs to make & decorate a cake is an amazing achievement.
