World Baking Day at Bourne View

Residents marked World Baking Day by gathering in the lounge to bake a classic sponge cake from scratch. Monica started the afternoon by creaming together the butter and sugar, before Dot took over to add the eggs and flour. Nearby, Margaret kept a close eye on proceedings, offering encouragement and keeping the group on track as the mixture came together.

Once the batter was ready, Dot carefully transferred it into a spring tin before it was placed in the oven. The conversation then turned to predictions about the finished result while everyone waited for the cake to bake. Later that afternoon, residents enjoyed a slice together and were pleased to find a light sponge waiting for them – with no mishaps along the way.
