PUPILS at Yeoford Primary School showed their culinary skills with some superb cakes when they took part in the Great Yeoford Bake Off, raising more than £150 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Judging was by Elaine Clark, a home economist and school Governor, who had a really difficult time. She said it was almost impossible to choose between some, the flavours and appearance were so good, the effort that had gone into them all, the imagination, adding that it was great to see so many young people cooking.

After the judging and presentation of certificates to the winners, there was a cake sale with members of the School Council running the stalls.

One Mum had made a tray full of cup cakes each with a letter in icing to spell out “We Love Yeoford Primary”, while someone else had made bread sticks to spell the word “Yeoford”.

Bake Off winners were: Rosalind, Jess, Maisie, Samuel, Lucy, Charles, James, Louis, Bow and Eli.

The school has two Open Afternoons, on November 2 and 20, when prospective parents and children can call in between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.

Yeo Yo’s, the After School club, has free Taster Sessions on October 10, 11 and 12, 3.30pm to 4.30pm for any child who has not been along before.

Events on those afternoons will be Fun Foods for October 10, Face painting and messy play for October 11 and a traditional games night for the Thursday.
