Macmillan Cancer Support to get boost from Chichester cake auction

More Food, the Chichester bakery which makes some of the most delicious hand-crafted cakes around, has donated a stunning one-off creation to be auctioned in aid of the charity.

In the shape of a coffee cup and featuring the distinctive colours of the coffee morning, it was designed especially for the occasion by Sara Powell, the company's bakery and product development technician.

It will be auctioned by the Observer and we are inviting our readers to make a bid for the cake. This eye-catching and mouth-watering work of art of the baker's trade will make a wonderful centrepiece and talking point at any coffee morning '“ and the highest bid will win.

Caron Rowe, managing director of More Food, said she was delighted to be supporting a local effort.

"We like to support Macmillan because it's a cause which is very close to our hearts '“ cancer affects so many people.

"We do something every year with John Lewis in London, in their food hall, but it is lovely to make a special cake and be associated with a local fundraising effort.
