Budding bakers can prove if they are a Mary Berry or a Paul Hollywood in a bake-off for charity.

Raising money for Shooting Star Chase, the Heart, Walton, is inviting local schools to enter the competition on Saturday, December 13.

Last year’s winner, Naomi Burroughes, came top of the pile with her multicoloured elephant cake.

Mark Middleton, general manager, said: "Shooting Star Chase is a fantastic charity that does amazing work for sick children, young people and families. We are delighted to be supporting them."

To enter, email eirinn@almarketing.com with student name, age, school, year and name of cake. This must be done by Friday, December 12.
