Steve thank you for all the support from your amazing team Community Foundation for Calderdale - hope the food was up to your standard! 😀

That mango cheesecake by SafSprinkles was to die for! All the desserts were mouthwateringly delicious! Too many to choose from, so ended up having one of each!! ❤️

Our showstopper was certainly that!! Thank you to our amazing baker @asimascakesandbakes for baking this work of art! Once again, our parents going over and beyond in their line of duty!
