We race (electronically) and the loser has to bake a cake to feed the office.
Why? because we like cake.
Who? everyone in the office. No one gets out of it.
When? every Monday.
The rules: you make the cake yourself, without any help. You can't 'repeat' a cake. Your cake will be judged on presentation, difficulty and taste, and marked out of 10 by each colleague.

The verdict: Excellent presentation - absolutely unanimous. The technicality of achieving a symmetrical white chocolate bow was impressive. However, disappointment prevailed in its taste especially when we realised that the raspberries weren't in fact sitting on a layer of gorgeous melted dark chocolate, but a burnt crust. The Great British Bake Off would have some issues with "the bake" as the sponge was over-baked and a little dry. The white chocolate also needed more than a knife to cut into it.
'Raspberry & White Chocolate Present' Cake Average Score: 6
Next month: Jake. You're never too new to bake a cake (Jake joined us a week ago). He has no experience in the cake-making department.
