The idea is that each individual must bake a cake and bring it to the event so that everyone can meet, mingle and share a slice of each other’s delicious cakes. The events are held monthly and each event is held in a different venue and has a different theme. In light of over indulging over the festive period, the theme for January’s Cake club was Scrumptious Savories’.
