College hosts a bake-off challengeto raise funds for Macmillan Relief
Twelve entrants whisked up a variety of beautiful cakes including cupcakes, brownies, Rice Krispy cakes, rainbow cakes, and candy topped cakes
To add a sprinkling of fun to the proceedings, a panel of judges rated each of the cakes on their appearance, texture and taste to decide a winner. After much deliberation, and quite a few mouthfuls, the judges eventually decided on a winner, a runner-up and a 3rd place.

Toddlers from the Jigsaw Nursery then helped to sell slices of cake to staff and students in the college, raising a total of £340.
Hastings Direct generously donated £160 to round the final figure up to £500.
Judge and Head of Marketing, Justin Rollings said: “The quality and standard of cakes baked and donated were outstanding and it clearly showed that everybody involved rose to the challenge. A big well done goes to Vicki and a big thank you goes to everyone who supported and contributed to the morning, including Hastings Direct for their generous donation.”
