Amazing bakes this week from Year 8! 

In first place 🥇 with some spectacularly presented cupcakes topped with a chocolate curl came 8PCO. Well done to Charlotte, Chloe and Lily for your chocolate and strawberry cakes.

They were closely followed by Ella, Nina and Maryam of 8PFO with their honey & chocolate marbled cupcakes (I think it was the crunchy topping that tipped the votes!) in second place 🥈 .

In third 🥉 Charlotte, Matilda and Grace in 8FGC also wowed judges with the perfect chocolate sponge in their dark chocolate and berry cupcakes. 

Well done to all our bakers! 👏👏👏 Next week Year 7 will try their skills against the cupcake challenge! #waldegraveschool #enjoyachieveempower #bakeoff -off #cupcakechallenge #cupcakesofinstagram❤️
