Bake a cake for Beeston. Tesco competition.

This cake making competition 'Bake a Cake for Beeston' was run as part of the Beeston Food and Drink Weekend and for those who don't know Beeston near Nottingham it has a famous statue on the high street called The Bee Man and the locals are very fond of this local character. Thus he was reflected in many of the entries for the cake making comp.

The local Mayor of Broxtowe, Iris White judged the competition and was delighted with the very creative entries. Manager of the competition - Stephanie Wilkinson was also in attendance as was Linda Lalley community officer for Tesco extra Beeston.
