We were overwhelmed with applicants for our Secret Bakes event, but the following people managed to secure a place.
Wendy, Alison, Adele, Rachael Mc, Sarah, Cheryl, Pamela G, Rachel R, Sue, Wilma, Lou, Aileen, Catherine, Lynne and Lucy
Isla and Katherine are first on the waiting list.
You will be emailed before the event with final details. There will be a photographer at the event – Don Munro who will be taking pictures of the wonderful creations. And we don’t mean to add pressure to your secret bake, but The Herald’s cake critic Catherine Lawson will be joining us. Don’t worry, she’s making something herself.
For those of you who didn’t manage to get a place at the Secret Bakes event, there is another one a few days after with many more spaces. Although not run by us, it’s being organised by friends with all the monies raised going to our nominated charity – It’s Good 2 Give.
