There was plenty of “self-raising” going on when a baking event was held to fundraise for Porthleven Gig Club.
The Atlantic Inn hosted the “Great Gigger's Bake Off”, which ran along the same lines as the popular BBC baking programme the Great British Bake Off.
With categories for best pasty, savoury pie, bread or bap, cake or buns and speciality bake, the event was well attended and saw lots of entries in all classes. There was also a prize for overall top baker, won by Sandra Kelynack for her amazing Rolls Royce cake.
The supporters were treated to bingo while the judges deliberated, and tasted the entries, with the evening continuing with a raffle and auction of items donated by locals and businesses, finishing off with live music.
The event raised almost £700 and the organisers have thanked all who donated and attended for their continued support of this local club.
