Lyndsey Gillhaney is calling all bakers to get involved in the Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off taking place on Saturday, April 28.

“Our uncle has also overcome bowel cancer, but now has tumours in his liver and lungs, so this is my way of giving something back and in support of my family members.”

The competition will have three categories on the day – Signature Challenge, Technical and Show Stopper – with a winner in each, as well as the Star Baker Award.

Lyndsey said: “We are looking for bakers to take part, I doesn’t matter it you’re angel cake is heavenly or you’re more prone to a soggy bottom the main thing is to have fun and raise lots of lovely dough for a great cause.

“I really can’t wait to see what is created, who never know who might win, and I’m sure everyone will enjoy eating them!”
