FHP News

It all started in Spring 2015 when in a moment of both inspiration and predominantly self interest in ensuring a supply of cakes on Monday mornings, Tim Richardson suggested a charity Derby office bake-off which was ultimately won by Mark Bradley’s show stopping sponge cake complete with full FHP logo and Derby ram.

Round Two was to comprise dishes from countries around the world. The first casualty was Lauren’s cheesecake which although showing great potential was sadly drowned in a makeshift bain marie. Next up were the Richardson “not very Mexican” cookies. Having offered them around the office he finished off the rest forgetting that Kate had not yet arrived and thereby scoring nil points from her. Then followed Theo’s Great British sausage rolls which immediately prompted two proposals of marriage! Next up were Kate’s Grecian meatballs, whilst Jon commandeered the microwave with his catering size bowl of Italian risotto, and Mark produced an elegant French quiche.

Becki’s German apple cake was precision engineered, well built, but later was found to have higher than claimed emissions whilst Darran produced handmade (apparently he has no kitchen utensils) Jamaican truffles with enough rum to bring down a small rhino.

When the points were counted the winners were Theo and his chosen charity the RNLI who received the entry donations.

Ends.
