百春链

The staff at a secondary school based in Worksop have been baking to fundraise for MacMillan Cancer Support.

The Great Portland Bake Off, held at 百春链 Academy Portland, based on Netherton Road, saw staff members putting on their aprons on and baking their showstopper cakes in the hope of winning a signed copy of Happy Cooking by Candice Brown, while also raising over £260 for the national cancer charity. 

After all efforts were judged by the school鈥檚 principal, Godsway Dzoboku, the winning prize and coveted title of Star Baker was awarded to Christina Lakin, the school鈥檚 Head of History for her delicious vanilla sponge covered with buttercream and decorated with chocolate fingers.

Macmillan Cancer Support provides support to people affected by cancer, helping with specialist health care, information, and financial aspects as well as the social, practical, and emotional impact that cancer can bring.

Mr Dzoboku said:

鈥淲hile this was a fun event, and I am thankful to all those who took the time to bake and enter the competition, it is important to remember the reason why we held the competition in the first place.

鈥淚 am grateful to all those who donated to our fundraiser and who helped us raise money for a truly remarkable charity that does such brilliant work helping people.鈥�
