Our third and final cake sale was on Friday 13th! Taking a look at the spread of delicious goodies spanning two large tables, absolutely no one believed Mike's (Penny’s husband) patter, 'It's all calorie free'!
Once again our volunteer bakers had done us proud; flap jacks, lemon drizzle, mince pies, chocolate brownies, Dorset apple cake, Viennese whirls, Bakewell tart, coconut Madelines, coffee cakes, chocolate cakes, cupcakes iced to perfection and Christmas themed gingerbread, stars, trees and puddings, all niftily iced by Mike's fair hand.
Despite the competition from the staff and Christmas lunches in the restaurant, trade was brisk as most were unable to resist the jolly sales pitch. Staff obviously work hard and cake with mid morning coffee was much appreciated.
Staff and visitors alike even returned to buy yummy presents for envious friends. Some folk so desperate to eat their purchase declined a bag or napkin in favour of devouring their prize on the spot; always good recommendation for those dithering and struggling to make their choice.
