All in the spirit of World Book Day, Gresham’s hosted its annual ‘The Great Gresham’s Literary Bake Off’, which saw creative bakers and avid readers unite to produce some wonderfully whacky and delectable literary treats.

The judges were impressed by all entrants: their level of teamwork, their commitment to their designs and the celebration of their chosen text from the literary world. Each of the competitors thoroughly conquered the challenge of ‘ready…steady… BAKE!’                                                                                                            

And the results were:

• Special mention: Amir R and Alexander T, both from Farfield, for their Of Mice and Men inspired ‘Lennie’s rabbit’ cake.
• 1^st Place for ‘Taste’: Grace S, Oakeley for her Lord of the Rings inspired delicious lemon drizzle cupcakes.
• 1^st Place for ‘Link to the Literary brief’: Grace C, from Oakeley for her Alice in Wonderland, beautifully executed ‘down the rabbit hole’ inspired cake.
• Overall winner: Grace C for her ‘Alice in Wonderland’ inspired cake. Grace’s artistic flare and attention to detail was incredible. Congratulations!

Thank you again to all those keen bakers who took part, your tasty treats were enjoyed by many of the Gresham’s pupils and staff alike.
