DO YOU LIKE CAKE???

Last Tuesday Wirral NCT held it's first Cake Club. A chance to meet other NCT members and team members and EAT CAKE!!! Several Mums turned up with babies lined up in car seats conveniently snoozing while their Mums enojoyed their cake and toddlers playing in the corner. Several Team members also attended giving Mums a chance to ask questions both about Wirral NCT or specifically about issues with topics such as breastfeeeding. There were some delicious cakes for everyone to tuck into including Rocky Road, Chocolate Brownies, Victoria Sponge and more. Declared a success, the event should hopefully be repeated later in the year so "Watch this Space"!!!
