THEY call it "the most significant sponge-based event ever to
hit Bath".The Great Bath Bake Sale will take place in Bath Abbey,
in Bath & Wells diocese, on 18 October, when
the north aisle will be filled with hundreds of cakes and
cookies.
"It will be the first time that the public will be able to show
their support for Footprint, the Abbey's fund-raising appeal driven
by the need to save the historic floor from collapsing," Elaine Teh
says. There will also be bread-making workshops for the
children.
The mania for baking seems to have spread across the country
since the success of BBC TV's Great British Bake Off. But
its celebration in Bath seems even more appropriate, as Bath is
Mary Berry's home town.
