Last term, Year 9 completed the qualifying round for the Great British Bake Off. Highfields School are hosting the final on Wednesday 9th December.

As you can see, we had a flying visit from Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry themselves who judged the results.

The challenge was to produce a biscuit of any type, which would demonstrate the skill of the baker. The results were of a very high standard.

The judges were  impressed with Ffion Bessey’s biscuits and with the neat finish of her chocolate chip shortbread.

For the final, the bakers will have to produce a Victoria sponge cake, that will be decorated with a Christmas theme. We can’t wait!
