The Great Hacton Bake Off

Delicious aromas wafted through the corridors on Thursday as Year 6 children baked, iced and decorated cup cakes for the Great Hacton Bake Off. All the children worked in groups to plan a theme for their cakes, which they then baked. Once cooled the light, fluffy sponges were carefully iced and meticulously decorated to reflect their chosen themes: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; The 2012 Olympics/Team GB; European Football Championships; Year 6 Leavers; Funfair treats; Birthdays and Winnie the Pooh. With every group intent on winning, they knew their cakes had to be the best! The lucky Judges (Mrs Deane, Mrs Perry and Mr Armstrong) tasted and deliberated, struggling to decide which of the scrumptious cakes should win. Which group had baked their way to victory? A mixture of emotions stirred in assembly as the competitive bakers waited anxiously for the results... Olympic themed cakes were triumphant in both classes. Hopefully this will be the same for Team GB!
