The Great Hambleside Bake Off

Friday 27^th September saw Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fundraising event “the Macmillan Coffee Morning”. People across the UK are asked to hold a coffee morning, where donations on the day are collected for Macmillan. As part of the fundraising, Hambleside Merchandise held the “Great Hambleside Bake off”. For a donation of £2, employees at Hambleside baked whole cakes, cupcakes, flans and scones – anything that goes nicely with a cup of tea or coffee! These were then sold for 50p per slice or per cupcake and every hot beverage consumed in the day cost 20p. Such a lot of effort was made by everyone who baked and practically every cake was devoured! Account Executive, Paula Carey was crowned 2013 Winner of the Hambleside Bake Off as her cheese scones were voted the best tasting by the panel of judges. By eating lots of cake and drinking lots of tea and coffee, we managed to raise £74 for Macmillan.
