A cake sale at Encore's head office in Cambridge raised over £116 for this year's BBC Children In Need Appeal, with more would-be bakers taking part in a company bake-off than ever before.

14 entrants battled it out to be named 'Star Baker', with prizes including a cake stand and measuring spoons awarded to first, second and third place. The team also paid to play two games - one to guess which cupcake Pudsey was hiding under, and another to correctly work out the number of sweets in a jar.

Encore's Service Charge Accountants Supervisor, Ashleigh Kroeger, and Assistant Property Manager Alexandra Hawkes both organised the event. They said: "It was great to once again be involved in Children In Need, which is such a wonderful cause. There were some pretty spectacular entries - with more people taking part in the bake-off than we've ever seen in previous years, so overall it was a huge success!"

Children In Need say: "Every penny from the money you raise or donate will go towards helping disadvantaged children and young people right here in the UK. You can be sure your money makes a real difference."

The appeal raised more than £32.6m on the night itself, which saw Sir Terry Wogan host the annual telethon alongside Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton and Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw. By the end of the show, a staggering £32,620,469 had been raised, with the final total expected to far exceed that once all donations have been accounted for.
