This years House Bake Off is celebrating 150 years of EHS, with pupils across the school demonstrating enthusiasm, creativity and a high standard of baking throughout the competition.
On Wednesday 4 February, Year 9 launched the competition with Time Capsule Tray Bakes, incorporating items that might be found in a time capsule from 1876. Nia and Emma were victorious for St George with their impressive marble cake, featuring a swirl of chocolate and vanilla and centred around a Girls With Goals theme.
The competition continued on Thursday, with Year 8 taking over the kitchen to bake cupcakes representing different decades of the school’s history. Elodie and Jemima secured first place for St Francis, delighting judges with a variety of cupcake flavours and thoughtful designs that truly took us down memory lane.
Friday saw another success for St Francis, thanks to Josie in Year 7. Her delicious shortbread biscuits illustrated how the school uniform has developed over time and perfectly captured the theme “Dress the Biscuit.”
The House Bake Off is just one of our annual traditions that has been transformed into a spectacular celebration for the school's 150th Birthday, reminding us of the fantastic achievements of the girls who have walked through the corridors of EHS in times gone by.
