On Tuesday, 2nd July 2013, Unity College hosted the first Burnley Business Class Bake Off Competition.

Competitors from Unity College and Sir John Thursby baked and decorated cupcakes which were then put before a panel of judges from the catering industry who judged the cakes on both their appearance and their taste

Luke Ashworth won first prize with his Sheep themed cupcakes - the prize being a one day cookery course for two at the prestigious Lucy Cooks cookery school in Cumbria.  The judges were very impressed with both his decorating skills and his tasty sponge cakes.

Third place went to another Unity student, Ben Sutcliffe, who produced some beautifully decorated cakes.

The event was a huge success. Each and every student was a credit to their school. Not only did students bake and decorate their own cakes they also had a talk given by the manager of the Holiday Inn, which gave them an insight into the sorts of careers available in Hospitality and Catering.
