The carrot cake competition was so successful that I was asked to organise another bake-off but this time with chocolate cake.
The 5 entries, shown below, were all top class and there were on 1 1/2 points separating the first and second place cakes.

The winner, with a fine triple decker offering, was Head of Product management, Andrew Massing – shown below being presented with his certificate.
