Bakers serve up fruit cake village in aid of church roof revamp

The edible replica of Youlgrave - which features models of All Saints' Church, the butchers and the war memorial - took 35 cakes to produce.

Rev Louise Petheram from All Saints' said: "We feel very blessed at All Saints' to belong to a church that feels so much part of the village community."

The idea for the fundraiser came from church member of keen baker, Lynn Nolan, who was joined by other villagers in collecting donated ingredients and baking the sponges.

Speaking on the project, which involved 400 hours of icing cakes, Rev Petheram went on to say: "It has become a wonderful community project."

The cake village is on display at All Saints' until Wednesday 14th December when three cakes will be given away, while the remaining ones will be auctioned off to help fund the roof restoration.

Describing the display as "stunning" and "very life-like", Rev Peterham also told Premier: "We've had people from all over the country coming to see it; they've been absolutely delighted."

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
