This competition is in its second year and has been run in conjunction with Doubletree by Hilton who have
very generously provided the fantastic prizes. Open to Y7, students were given the task of creating a
cookie with an interesting flavour. Each week a star baker was awarded by the Doubletree Chef, the prize
being an afternoon tea for themselves and their family at the hotel, with other runners-up prizes. In the
final, their task was to create six cupcakes with a summer time theme.
The standard of baking and decorating was extremely high and gave the judges some tough decisions to
make. Well done to the winners and to all Year 7 students who entered the competition. Also a big thank
you to all of our judges. Mrs Shipston

attitude and behaviour, conquering their fears and
developing team building skills. Plans are already afoot
