At St Mary's today there will be a cake (and cards, jam, chutney, etc.) sale in aid of the School of Theology, Philosophy and History's pet charity - Wells for India.

(Mary Grey is also currently a research professor at SMUC.)

As such, our kitchen was even busier and messier than usual yesterday evening. Since very few of the SMUC student halls have serviceable kitchens, we threw ours open to any student wanted to contribute. Here are some of the results:
One of our freshers...
... and (some of) the fruits of her labours.
A chocolate fudge cake and an oddly-oblong Victoria sponge in a process of becoming...

(Apparently, Shaun didn't consider the Victoria sponge - nor a couple of jars of homemade chutney - photogenic enough to take a picture of...)
You are hilarious Dr. Bullivant. I didn't even see your glorious Victoria Sponge!
