Last week we ran a Bonfire Bake Off to raise funds for our Charity of the Year 2018/19 The Welcome Centre, a vital foodbank based in Huddersfield.

Founded in April 1997, The Welcome Centre is one of the largest food banks in the Kirklees region with a team of over 100 volunteers, and offers crucial and much-needed aid to the less fortunate.

So,what better way for the team to raise some funds than by having out very own Bonfire Bake-off?!

On Day 1, Rebecca Nicholas started the week with a bang with a Honeycomb cake, which not only looked, but tasted amazing! Our second entry was from Amy Walker, who baked these yummy muffins.

Day 2 was a guest bake from Mark Stewart, Director of Sheards Wealth Management, who baked Belgian flapjacks for the team to enjoy.

Carolyn Atkinson did an absolutely sterling job on day 3 and provided not only one, but two cakes! (One looked more like a Halloween Horror, but tasted just as good!) We had another guest bake on day 3 from Stephen Harrison at Sheards Wealth Management, with some fantastic Gravestone Brownies!

Alice Spencer, our Apprentice Accountant produced an absolute work of art on day 4 with some fantastic tasting Ginger Bonfire Buns.

Our final two bakers created a magnificent end to the competition on Friday. Zoe Lunn produced a show-stopping Bonfire Cake and Georgina Smallpage made some super fiery cupcakes.

The team had voting forms, which were scored on 4 categories: creativity, texture, taste and presentation. After much deliberation and tasting (the diet starts this week!) and a very close result (down to decimal places, as we are accountants!) We are proud to announce that the winner of our Sheards Bonfire Bake-off 2018 was Zoe Lunn with her absolutely magnificent bonfire cake!

And we have raised a whopping £95 for The Welcome Centre. Many thanks for everyone for your kind donations. You can continue to donate more towards this fantastic cause here.

We are delighted to be partnering with The Welcome Centre for the forthcoming year and we will keep you all updated with details of our upcoming, much-loved fundraising events!
