This week we took the Dream Team to The Big London Bake Off tent for a wholesome evening of competitiveness and creativity. The challenge was to create a spring surprise cake with three tiers and showstopping decorations and everyone pulled it out of the park. From sunflowers to a whole farm worth of animals, each team created a unique cake.

The winners were Emma Reavley and Beth who made a pink cake with a chocolate core and dog digging into it.
Second place went to Tom and Charlie who decided on a sunflower design with a rainbow sprinkle sponge.
And third place went to Elle and Alex who created a green cake topped off by a bunny and a grazing sheep.
