Love was the theme and cakes were on the menu for Mrs Green’s Cake Club when it met at Dumfries Museum on Sunday 2 February.

In preparation for Valentine’s Day the theme was love and cake flavours ranged from passion fruit, rhubarb and custard to rose-petal and raspberry with lots of chocolate variations too. Over 40 members had 21 cakes to choose from. Everyone enjoyed a cup of tea or coffee and sampled as many cake flavours as they could manage then voted on which ones they liked best.

Donations for tea and coffee covered the costs of these and the remainder was given to the museum. Any cake left at the end of a meeting is given to a charity organisation.

Mrs Green’s Cake Club is a social group open to anyone who likes to bake cakes, share them and eat them! Organised via Facebook, the club meets at a different venue each time. You can find Mrs Green’s on Facebook and if you like her page you will get invites to Cake Club events. The Cake Club will be at Solway House artists’ studios on 27 April.
