FOUR College of West Anglia students will take afternoon tea at a world-famous London store after triumphing in a national cake-making competition.
The young cake-bakers will be guests at Fortnum and Mason’s new Diamond Jubilee Tea Room, which was renamed at a ceremony attended by the Queen earlier this year.
Emma Symonds, 17, won first prize in the cake-making contest held at Westminster College, with her raspberry layer cake with a touch of elderflower.
Elizabeth Parry, 20, finished third with Loren Morgan, 17, from Wisbech, and Matthew Haynes, 17, also praised by the judges.
Elizabeth made a seed cake, while Matthew produced a 20cm chocolate cake replica of the Olympic stadium. Loren baked three different sorts of cup cakes, including one flavoured with champagne.
The students, who are all on the King’s Lynn college’s hospitality course, will enjoy their prize on June 13.
