THREE young bakers were bowled over with support for their charity cake sale at Runcorn Cricket Club.

Runcorn schoolfriends Neva Jones, 10, Phoebe Wakefield, nine and her sister Mackenzie, 10, spent Friday evening baking, icing and decorating cup cakes.

The trio set up a stall on Moughland Lane on Saturday and raised £228 for Macmillan Cancer Care.

A hockey team playing at the club bought lots of the cakes.

Proud dad Kev Jones, from Beechwood, said: “The girls made the cakes themselves. It was all their own idea.

“They just wanted to do something for charity. It was their very own ‘Great British Cake Off’.

“They put it on Facebook and were made up to raise so much money.”

The 45-year-old, who runs The Pump Point on Picow Farm Road, said he was ‘really proud’ of the youngsters.

The girls attend Hillview Primary School in Beechwood.

Phoebe, from Palacefields, had lots of ingredients to hand as her mum runs a catering business.
