JUNIOR chefs showcased their culinary talents at the Croft School Primary School's recent Fairtrade Bake-Off Competition.

Modelled on BBC Two’s The Great British Bake Off, more than 150 children were told to use their imaginations when baking cakes, with the judging criteria that 'as much as possible, they should do it by themselves'.

Parents, grandparents, guardians and relatives packed into a busy school hall as judges viewed and sampled the cakes.

"It was a big success and the children exceeded all the judges criteria," said organiser Jane Bailey.

"We have been running the Fairtrade coffee morning for years but the bake-off is a new idea."

The event was put on with the help of funding from the National Lottery’s Let’s Get Cooking scheme.

Under the scheme, school cookery clubs receive £500 to put on 12 culinary classes and three events every year for three years The bake-off, the first of this year’s three events, raised £300.
