I thought I’d show you the baking I did for the Macmillan Cancer Support ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. We didn’t have our coffee morning on 28th September, we had ours on Friday 5th October. There are three different buildings where I work and usually all the bakes would be brought together in one of the buildings. However, staff in the building where I work were having a staff meeting at the time of the coffee morning, so I agree to keep my bakes in our building so they could make their donations and enjoy the baking. I’m pleased to say that the cakes raised £30 and along with the sale of raffle tickets and some additional donations, we raised a total of £85.

I made some teeny tiny cakes for those who wanted a small sweet treat.

| Rum and Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies |
This cookie recipe is in the Great British Bake Off book 2. I used Old Jamaica chocolate which is a dark chocolate with rum and raisins. These were very popular especially with men!

| Lorraine Pascale’s Party Time Chocolate Fridge Cake |
These sweet treats went down well at the coffee morning, adding maltesers to a chocolate ‘tiffin’ recipe is a great idea from Lorraine Pascale and the recipe is in the ‘Little Book of Treats’ sold by Marks and Spencer on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support.

They look lovely Janice – it always amazes me that dates are in sticky toffee desserts – you never ever taste them!
I think I would have had to have a bit of everything, they all look so good. Well done for raising so much money too, that is a fantastic result.
so lovely… I love the teeny weeny ones too… I think 'sticky toffee' just has to be one of those foolproof nostalgia food themes that is unbeatable… they look gorgeous anyhoo x
WELL DONE Janice, what a wonderful spread and I love the little squares, very tempting! Karen
Well done Janice, they all look gorgeous and I'd have been very tempted to have one of each. I didn't know Old Jamaica was still going – used to love it.
Oh wow! I would have spent a fortune. They all look so good. Don't know which I would want to try first! Well done on such a good collection 🙂
What a tempting collection of cakes and cookies. I haven't had sticky toffee pudding for ages and imagine that a cupcake with these flavours would be just delicious :)x
They all look great Janice – I reckon your version of Lorraine's fridge cake looks better than the version in the booklet! Congrats on raising a great amount for charity, very impressive with only a few people to sell to – I'm sure they appreciated your cakes!
How beautiful do those cakes look?! I Love sticky toffee pudding so these are definately a MUST MAKE!

These cupcakes look lovely! Well done on raising such a good amount!
