Clandestine Cake Club Bolton - E I E I O

A few months ago I received a tweet from a lovely lady called Celia who runs the Wellbeing Farm in Edgworth, Bolton. As well as having a beautiful coffee shop, they have a host of wonderful facilities including conference rooms, a cookery school and lots of animals to talk to! I was thrilled when she invited our cake club to use the Wellbeing Farm's facilities. 

Our theme was E I E I O, as I thought it only right to have something fitting to our beautiful rural venue. I asked our bakers to make something including an E, I or O, or they could use the farm itself as inspiration. 

It was a small meeting on Saturday, as many of our cake clubbers were on their jollies - it mattered not and we still had a fantastic meet up with a wonderful array of cakes. Saturday was particularly warm too, which meant cracked tops, sliding icing and even a missing bottom! After collectively giving our OCD the heave-ho, we carried on regardless. I think I snapped most of the cakes before the humidity hit...

We had ten cakes in total, including:

• Shaun the Sheep Chocolate Guinness Cake
• Elderflower and Gooseberry Bundt Cake
• Oaty Apricot Cake
• Earl Grey Cake with Rhubarb Glaze
• Chocolate Oreo Bundt Cake
• Mooing Milkybar Cake
• Farmyard Carrot Cake
• Zesty Orange Cake
• Happy as a Pig in Chocolate Cake
• Elderflower Iced Orange Cake

We even had a herd of llamas watching us as we ate!

The Wellbeing Farm is beautiful venue run by wonderfully enthusiastic people. A huge thank you to Celia and her team for making our day so fantastic. Everyone agreed it's been one of our favourite locations yet! We left them a bit of cake as our way of saying thank you...
