June 2011

Last week myself and Sharnee Rawson. a previous contestant from Masterchef had the delightful task of tasting and judging  some very tasty morsels.I donated a shooting stars cake that was then auctioned to raise much needed funds and I also offerered a gift voucher for one of my beginners classes, to the novelty cake category.The entries were both equally spectacular so I ended up giving the contestants a voucher each and I look for ward to them attending a class very soon.
