LOCAL CARE HOME IS CROWNED EASTER CAKE CHAMPION

Excitement is running high at Tennyson Wharf Care home in Burton Waters where the talented residents have been named the winners of the annual Barchester Easter Cake competition for the North East and Scottish Division.

Each year residents from Barchester’s care homes and hospitals up and down the country compete for the coveted Easter Cake of the Year title. The competition is run by the central hospitality team and the bar is set very high. Many of Barchester’s residents are very skilled bakers and the Easter cake designs can be very elaborate. Competition is fierce and only the very best recipes and designs will prevail.

The residents at Tennyson Wharf care home put their heads together and donned their aprons to come up with the most amazing Easter cake decorated to perfection. Their fabulous cake is designed as a rabbit’s garden and consists of delicious ingredients for a spring Victoria Sandwich cake.

Sarah Noutch, General Manager at Tennyson Wharf said: “Our residents had such a brilliant time taking part in this competition, it has been such fun. Everyone here loves to bake and we all love cake so we were all very excited to take part. It has been a real collaborative process in the design and planning to ensure all residents could take part and create something visually striking.”

Lesley, a resident at Tennyson Wharf commented: “I’ve been baking my whole life, I find it so satisfying when a cake turns out well and everyone enjoys it. When I heard about the competition, I couldn’t wait to get stuck in! I am so proud that we have won, it has made my Easter!”
