Today has, indeed, been a fun-filled Yabba-Dabba-Doo day! Again, there’s a great community spirit on days where we are working together to support others. The playground always looks amazing when it’s full of costumes and smiles and today was no exception! From cavemen to veloceraptors, Pudseys to pyjamas… and even a prehistoric fire, the Stone Age had truly come back to life in Keyworth! Here are some of our prize winning outfits…

 

thought it would be a tough job to hold on to my Bake Off medal and the pressure mounted on Wednesday night when at 11pm I still hadn’t got a perfect cake out of the oven! My heart sank (as did my cake) when I saw the entries that arrived this morning… Stunning! What talented bakers we have! Elaine our cook selected 6 of the best and then other members of the kitchen team helped to cut and taste to arrive at the final verdict. It was unanimous that John’s woolly mammoth was the best decorated and Maddie’s mammoth was the most delicious chocolate cake the panel had ever tasted, but Mazie’s exploding dinosaur volcano had both the taste and the clever construction. Mazie was duly awarded star baker and proudly left the hall wearing the medal. Well done! Here are some of the other cakes that tempted the judges…

As always, thank you so much for your efforts. The day was designed to be full of spirit (which it was!) and raise as much as we could for a fabulous cause. We have now raised over £600 – that makes me very happy! Thank you.
