Manchester Metropolitan University Bake Off, Tuesday 12th March, Geoffrey Manton Building
MMU Comic Relief Bake Sale- 12/03/2013 from Jason Cooke on Vimeo.
Staff and students alike made an overwhelming effort for the battle, which commenced on Tuesday in the Geoffrey Manton atrium. The tables were piled high with delicious cakes, biscuits, muffins, cookies, flapjacks, tarts and brownies and it was not long before the majority of treats had been gobbled up by sweet-toothed passers-by.
Each entry was judged on scorecards by each person who bought a treat and today the votes were counted. The results are extremely close. First prize, which is 2 tickets to the Manchester Cake and Bake Show, went to HLSS Programme Administrator Kath Daly, for her outstanding banana and apricot muffins, receiving an impressive 95/100. These were closely followed by team effort, ‘The Kate’s’, aka MA Multimedia Journalism student Kate Butler and History of Art third year student, Kate Vandor, for their pistachio macaroons, which received a score of 94/100. Third place went to Appeals and Complaints student administrator, Katherine Thornton, for her quirky raspberry flavoured Red Nose Day cake lollipops, which scored 93.75/100.
Exactly £457 was raised on the day, a staggering amount of money considering that the goal was to raise just £250, making this event… a piece of cake!
