We are delighted to announce that the Jubilee desserts created by our Princess Christian Care Home residents and staff teams have won third place in Nellsar’s ‘Design a Jubilee Dessert’ competition!
As part of our recent Platinum Jubilee celebrations, we entered a fun competition running across all Nellsar’s 13 Homes, to see who could create the most magnificent Jubilee dessert, fit for a Queen!
We challenged our Recreation and Well-Being Team and Chefs to collaborate with our residents to reminisce about favourite puddings they’ve enjoyed in the past and come up with something special for the Jubilee long weekend.
Viv Stead, Nellsar’s Recreation and Well-Being Manager and Head of Catering Services Adrian Silaghi had great pleasure in judging the entries on Friday 10 June.
Their three judging criteria were:
- Creativity – How well the Jubilee theme had been executed.
- Collaboration – How well our staff teams had worked together and included their residents.
- Presentation – How eye-catching and well-presented the desserts looked.
Our fantastic desserts caught the judges’ eye:
“Well done to Princess Christian for scooping third prize. Cosmin’s Cooking Club members made delicious Rocky Road treats, dedicated to her majesty which motivated all those involved. Residents enjoyed receiving Cooking Club certificates and badges as part of the fun! Chef Assistant Paul was also commended for his chocolate lava cake and Chef Cosmin created a very regal Victoria sponge in glass. They were all royally tempting!”
We are thrilled to have won £50 for our Residents’ Fund – and of course enjoyed devouring all of our desserts over the long Jubilee weekend! Well done to everyone involved!
Sonya Lodge Residential Care Home scooped first prize with a delicious selection of six desserts, whilst St Winifeds Care Home were awarded second prize for their fantastic Tiered Cake and Jubilee Trifle.
