Wishing one and all a Blessed Christmas.
May the joy of the angels,
the eagerness of the shepherds,
the perseverance of the wise men,
the obedience of Joseph and Mary,
and the peace of the Christ child
be yours this Christmas.

The teams were boys against girls in a bake-off. Each team time in the kitchen to prepare and produce something awesome. The girls went for cupcakes and the boys went for carrot cake with chopped walnuts. (Ben's recipe) Here are the resulting products...
