Beaumont's Easter Cake Competition Entry

Excitement is running high at Stamford Bridge Beaumont in Stamford Bridge where residents and staff have been cooking up a storm to enter parent company Barchester Healthcare’s Easter Cake competition.

Details of the competition were announced earlier this year and the home has been busy coming up with, what they hope, will be a winning design.

The competition is being run by Barchester Healthcare across its 260 care homes and private hospitals so the home has some stiff competition to beat. Pride is at stake as chefs and residents at each of the homes across the country battle it out. Judging will take place at the end of March and the winning cakes for each of Barchester’s divisions will be announced in time for Easter.

Staff and residents at the home put their heads together and donned their aprons to come up with a scrumptious cake that they think encapsulates the themes and flavours of Easter. The Beaumont’s fabulous cake consists of delicious ingredients such as lemon flavoured fondant, sweet icing and soft sponge.

Emma Smith, General Manager at Stamford Bridge Beaumont said: “We’ve all had such a brilliant time taking part in this competition, it has been such fun. Our staff and residents love to bake so when they heard about the competition, they were all so excited to take part. It has been a real collaborative process - thinking about the ingredients and the design. Not to mention all the delicious different versions we have had to taste over the last few weeks, it really has been no hardship!”

Anne, a resident at Stamford Bridge Beaumont said: “We all wanted to get involved in the cake competition – it would just be wonderful if our recipe was selected. We had such a giggle coming up with the design and deciding what ingredients should go in. I definitely think we’ve got a winning recipe! We can’t wait to find out what the judges think of our entry!”
