Regular readers will know my obsession with cake.
So imagine my delight at being able to combine that obsession with my day job, with eight boxes of these, fresh from Jane Asher’s oven:
I’m making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS.
Oh, and the winners were:
- Junior Prize winner: Big Book of Science Things to Make and Do by Rebecca Gilpin and Leonie Pratt, (Usborne)
- General Prize winner: Six Degrees by Mark Lynas (Fourth Estate/Harper Collins)
Hooray for cakes and prizes!

We still have a box left, sadly.
... but I’m sure my colleagues will make a valiant effort to ‘dispose’ of them tomorrow.

Entropy sucks, even when its forces are cute bundles of furry purring.
Stupid cats.
Huh, the photo worked OK in the preview. Here’s the link
