Oakland Care Christmas Cake Bake Off
Oakland Care Christmas Cake Bake-Off
Every year, our catering teams across all Oakland Care Homes organise a fun-filled Christmas cake competition to add an extra dose of excitement to the festive season.
This year, the competition was as fierce as ever, with all the teams putting their heart and soul into creating the perfect cake!
After much anticipation, we’re thrilled to announce the winner of this year’s Oakland Care Christmas bake-off – our Elsyng House Care Home.
The judges were blown away by their mouth-watering Chocolate Yule log, which was an absolute treat for the taste buds! In joint second place, we have our Birchwood Heights and Hastings Court Care homes, whose spectacular Christmas fruit wreath cakes were a feast for the eyes and a delight to eat.
Giles Conroy, Group Executive Chef, commented: Well done, everyone who participated in some great festive bakes. Congratulations to the catering team at Elsyng House on a fantastic cake.
The teams at all the homes had a great time tasting these delicious cakes and cherishing the festive spirit. The competition was incredibly close, and the judges had a tough time picking the winners due to the amazing efforts put in by all the teams!
Development Chef Annika James commented, “The level of effort and time put into the cakes was phenomenal; it was a very close call! From amazing flavours to homemade accompaniments and even artistic theatrical presentations. It was wonderful to be a part of. We can’t wait to see what they produce next year!”
