Warren Farm Lodge wins Christmas cake competition
Residents from Warren Farm Lodge care home in Birmingham have emerged victorious in a Christmas cake making competition with a traditional Christmas cake decorated with Santa, Christmas trees and stars.
The competition was held at Madeleine House care home in Stechford and residents from other Anchor care homes nearby joined Warren Farm Lodge residents with the cakes they made to be judged.
A team of Anchor colleagues picked the best Christmas cake based on taste, presentation, and resident involvement. In the end, they all agreed that Warren Farm Lodge residents had made the best of all the cakes, with Harden Hall in Walsall and Anchor’s Tandy Court in Kings Heath taking second and third place.
Warren Farm Lodge were overjoyed by their win. For having the best cake, the home took back a trophy and some delicious chocolates.
Resident Sylvia Davies, was overjoyed at winning the competition, saying:
I’m a big fan of Christmas cake decorating and making so I was really excited when I heard there was a Christmas cake competition. I never thought we’d win though, it’s absolutely brilliant.
I’ve always enjoyed decorating cakes, almost as much as I enjoy eating them! I really enjoy the baking sessions at Warren Farm Lodge, so it was a really nice way to get into the holiday spirit.
Jacqueline McLean, Manager of Warren Farm Lodge, said:
Activities such as baking, and cake decorating are a firm favourite among our residents at Anchor’s Warren Farm Lodge. We’re all delighted that our cake won this year’s Christmas cake competition. We have some really talented bakers and decorators here! Thank you to Madeleine House for hosting us and congratulations to Harden Hall and Tandy Court too.
It is nice to have this competition as a way of boosting the Christmas spirit. We’re very much looking forward to celebrating Christmas with our residents.
