Hundreds of homemade cakes were sold for a Great British Bake Off inspired fundraiser in Locks Heath.
Comic Relief Red Nose Day cake
More than £700 was raised for Comic Relief with the bake-off. The treats literally went like hot cakes!
Families crowded into the Lockswood Centre to take away the delicious and delicately made cakes – some saving them for later, while others bit into them then and there.
A comic relief style cake was one of the many luxurious delicacies to be raffled at the event.
It was a community effort with members of the Warsash Residents Association, Swanwick Lions Club, Locks Heath Inner Wheel and churches in the Western Wards, including St John’s, St Margaret Mary, Locks Heath Free Church, Warsash United Reformed Church and St Mary’s Hook-with-Warsash.
Co-organiser Jocelyn Jones, who worships at St Margaret Mary Church in Park Gate, said: “I was watching the Great British Bake Off when they said they were doing it for Comic Relief and thought we do cake sales all the time, so it’s simple for us to do too.
“It was very successful. We only had a few cakes left over, which we gave to those who helped out. Councillors Susan and Brian Bayford did the raffle draw. Lots of people said it was so nice for everyone to get together.”
