Once again Bushey Meads students excelled in the World Book Day Bake-Off 2023. Tasked with creating one or more cakes, large or small, to celebrate books, our students produced some extremely imaginative and detailed cakes. Their creativity and skills were admired by staff and students who were voting throughout the day.

After all 190 votes were counted, the top three were:

1st place: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Asadali, Yr8)

2nd place: Carousel of Books (Lilla, Yr7)

3rd place: Children’s books (Maisie, Yr8)

Other entries (in no particular order):

A few students kindly sold slices of their cakes for charity, and I am assured by those who bought them, they tasted as good as they looked!

Congratulations and thanks to all for participating, either by baking or by voting – a fitting tribute to World Book Day!
