This week our task was to help repaint the walls in the St Michael’s Fellowship office in Streatham.

Once again GoodGym Lambeth are organising the annual Bake Off Sweetstake 🧑‍🍳 ✨ which has just kicked off for this year! The way it works is that we pick a contestant and when your contestant goes out, you bake and then bring some delicious home made goods to the next group run. The very first contestant to go out of bake off this year was Will so that meant Tilly was the one baking this week. She arrived at Papa’s with everyone’s eyes securely on the bag she had with her. ‘Did you bring cake?’ We all eagerly asked. Of course she did!

We had a quick warm up, including a mini game of ‘Yianny says’ and listing our favourite types of cake, before heading up Brixton Hill. The ones arriving straight at the task arrived a bit before the main group coming from Papa’s so they were all kitted out with gloves, aprons and painting utensils by the time we got there. St Michael’s Fellowship had very kindly provided us with some drinks and snacks when we arrived so after a quick refreshment we got to work.

After half an hour of painting it was time to head off so we cleared up the paint trays, rollers and brushes and took some bin bags out with us on our way onto the street.

With cake in mind, and the knowledge that this was a downhill run, we said goodbye to the ones heading straight home and ran back to Papa’s. We gathered round Tilly's delicious home made orange drizzle cupcakes (half of which were vegan!), devoured them and headed off home for the rest of our dinners!

I won’t give away any spoilers about who went out in this week’s bake off but Sam’s got a lot to live up to for next week...
