At the end of the project Claire went back into the school and the children gave speeches about their chosen designs before she was presented with cakes from each of the three classes to sample. Class 3RK designed a vegan ‘Scrumptious Strawnilla’ cake, 3CB a ‘Blissful Blueberry & Lively Lemon Loaf’ and 3LM a ‘Pink Teaser Whippy Swirl’ cake. Claire then took the cakes and put them on sale in Number 15, for the children and their parents to buy, raising money for the school. e cakes were in high demand and a long queue to the cafe soon formed along the High Street in Hythe, year 3 pupil omas said: “I went to buy a slice but it had all sold out!” e cake that sold out rst was to be crowned the winner; 3CB’s ‘Blissful Blueberry & Lively Lemon Loaf’ was the triumphant bake selling out in record time!

They took on the challenge to make a cake with a secret healthy ingredient with enthusiasm and great imagination. They created three absolutely delicious cakes that sold in record time!” e children enjoyed the challenge too; Willow said: “It was fun because we got to make and eat lots of cakes!” George added: “We persuaded Claire to pick our cake with our amazing, fabulous speeches and it worked!” As well as the experience of having their own cake designs sold in a real café, the children’s baking e orts also raised £75 for their school, which will go towards new equipment for the playground.
