University Charity Bake-Off - calling all cake makers!
26 Sep 2014
Take part in special charity bake-off event on 30 September in the Students' Union
Talented and ambitious bakers from University staff, students and alumni are encouraged to take part in the Charity Bake-Off to raise money for Fareshare Manchester, a charity which provides vitally needed meals, food parcels and snacks to hundreds of disadvantaged people every day.
If you are a budding Mary Berry or could give Paul Hollywood a run for his money, then this is the star baker challenge for you! There need to be around 30-40 cakes in total covering the following categories:-
- Sweet treats
- Chocolate
- Fruit/vegetables (which ties in with the Fareshare theme)
- Alchol-based (my personal favourite!)
- Cheesecakes
- Vegan/gluten free
Your cakelicious offerings will then be judged by:
- Abigail Saffer (@TheCakeReview) - a keen baker and organiser of previous cake tasting events, classes and workshops
- Charlotte Hooson-Sykes (@The_Lady_Sybil) - a well-known Manchester food and drink blogger
- Miranda Kaunang - from Fareshare
- Gethin Sherrington - who runs the University Students' Baking Society
Prizes will all be food/cake based (of course!) and all money raised on the night will be donated to Fareshare.
