Greenbank Preparatory School in Stockport held their own giant Bake Off for Macmillan Cancer Care as hundreds of show-stopping cakes and pastries were made by the Parents’ Association.

The now annual event at the top independent primary in Cheadle Hulme raised over £700 for the cancer care charity.

Headmistress Janet Lowe said it ‘had us buzzing all day with something of a sugar rush, even if the children unlike the parents and sadly the teachers were on strict rations’.

She added: “Many of our families will have been touched by cancer and this annual event is always hugely supported and is an important day in our calendar.”

Jacqui, clearly a fan of Mary Berry, said: “There wasn’t a soggy bottom to be seen, all lovely and crisp with a good bite and even bake.”
