A Lemon meringue cupcake maker took home the coveted title of star baker at the Wandsworth Bake Off.

Your Local Guardian:

Jade Ripley, 30, from Earlsfield, saw her tasty treats judged by Dan Lepard, from the Great Australian Bake Off, and three other Wandsworth bakers.

Mrs Ripley said her passion for baking came from her mother, who also liked to make delicious sweet treats.

She said: "I love to bake for friends and family and have made lots of friends wedding cakes and numerous novelty cakes and cupcakes for birthday parties.

"I regularly take baked treats into the office, and the lemon meringue cupcakes are a firm favourite."

All treates produced for the bake off on Saturday, September 20, were sold to shoppers outside Northcote Records and raised more than £500 for Wandsworth Oasis and Wandsworth Radio.
