A brother and sister from Barkingside in Ilford, aged 11 and six, have won a national cake-designing competition, beating young bakers from across the UK.
Nathan, 11, and Leah, six, took home the title in Cake Box’s Little Bakers competition, which celebrates imaginative young cake designers across the UK.
Nathan’s winning entry featured a bold design filled with reds and yellows, while Leah impressed judges with her nature-inspired cupcake creation.
Nathan said: “I was so surprised that we won, and happy to share the moment with my little sister Leah, who was over the moon. Our family were so proud of us.”
Leah said: “Designing the cakes was so much fun, and something anyone can do if they believe in themselves.”
The competition, which ran across all 300 Cake Box stores during the summer, invited children to dream up their own cake creations. Winning entries were selected by individual stores and Cake Box’s head office team before being brought to life by Cake Box’s team of expert bakers.
The siblings and their family were invited to a special party at their local Cake Box store. There, their cakes were baked and presented by the team as part of the prize.
