Sutton Bonington competition raises nearly £600 for charity
Harry Pink and Meg Coram have been crowned winners of the Sutton Bonington Campus (SB) Science Cake Competition, for their thought-provoking creation, 'Rhinos should be horny!'
Harry and Meg, who are students on the preliminary veterinary degree course at Nottingham University, were praised for their attention to detail, overall impact and great taste.
The SB science cake competition took place on March 12, with all proceeds going to Comic Relief. So far, the event has raised £583.
Students could enter their cakes into one of six categories - Veterinary Medicine, Animal & Agriculture, From Farm to Fork, Infection, Cakes for Animals, and Comic Relief.
The judges, which included members from both schools of Bioscience and Veterinary medicine, were presented with some spectacular cakes, ranging from nesting chickens, to sows with piglets and even ringworm in cats!
The bake off also made it to national television. Comic Relief asked one of the bakers to design a cake for the special Comic Relief episode, 'The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice'.
Fourth year student Rachel Lowton and third year student Jennie Stoddart accepted the challenge and, according with the Comic Relief theme this year ("Make your face funny for money”), they prepared ‘Just your Everage cake’ in homage to Dame Edna, who was one of the Comic Relief Bake Off contestants.
