Pictured L-R: Pam Andrews, Dorothy Bonsall and Judy Maloney.
The Christmas themes on the cakes went from the contemporary to traditional snowy Christmas scenes, a reindeer complete with antlers, a Christmas parcel with bright red bow, a Christmas pudding and a snowman's head all of which helped the cake stall to raise over 200 on it's own. — Pictured L-R: Pam Andrews, Dorothy Bonsall and Judy Maloney.
