Cake lovers across Shropshire and north Wales have been baking buns, icing sponges and cutting out cookies all week as part of the incredible Hope House and Ty Gobaith Eat Cake Week

Dozens of cake shops, cafes and restaurants, schools, clubs, businesses and individuals have already taken part.

Staff and children at Hope House in Oswestry took part and enjoyed an afternoon tea including cake decorating, a bake off competition and a visit from the Hope House choir who treated children to some cake inspired songs.

Last year’s Eat Cake week raised almost £10,000 which enabled Hope House and Ty Gobaith to provide vital respite and end of life care to terminally ill children from across Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Mid Wales, and support for bereaved families too.

No charge is ever made to families for the help provided – So the charity needs to raise at least £6.3 million every year to make sure it can fund its crucial services.

It’s not too late to hold your own cake themed event. For more information please visit www.hopehouse.org.uk and claim your free Eat Cake pack today!
