STAFF at a Wirral care home had cause for celebration after winning a prize for making the best Coronation-themed cake.
As part of its recent celebrations marking the crowning of King Charles III, the We Care Group, held a cake competition across all of its 30 homes. Staff were allowed to enter the contest.
The winning cake was made by Jason Collinson, deputy manager at Daleside Nursing Home in Birkenhead.
His three-tier production was described as 'fit for a King!' and won a prize of £500.
Jason said: "I was amazed but pleased that my cake won the competition as there were so many wonderful entries.
"My biggest fans, the residents, never doubted for a minute that my entry would win and everyone enjoyed tucking in to it!"
Bernie Suresparan, We Care Group's chief executive, said: "At We Care Group we are working hard to build a good reputation in the communities we serve to not only be care home provider of choice but also as an excellent employer that values and appreciates all its staff and the hidden talents they possess."
He continued: "This competition highlights how our homes interact with each other and we have healthy competition between our homes."
The We Care Group, which has been operating since 2007, has 30 care homes across the North of England. Six of those are on Wirral.
