One Vision Watford Charity received a ‘large’ portion of the Hogwarts cake that was made to celebrate 20 years of Harry Potter. The cake was on This Morning on Monday with Philip & Holly, see the below link.
The cake has been cut up, distributed and there is a 50 x 30 cm portion left. Sunnyside were lucky enough to receive a section at the Northchurch site yesterday via James & family!
And it’s vegan!
