Cupcake week celebrations at Widnes care home

CHOCOLATE, toffee and raspberry were just some of the flavours on offer on National Cupcake Week at a Widnes care home.

Residents, staff and families at Halton View Care Home, on Sadler Street, enjoyed a tea party and dance to mark the occasion – alongside lots of cakes.

The tasty treats were made by a resident’s family, the home’s cook and other staff members.

Entertainment was provided by singer Junior Davies, who performed a variety of songs from old movies.

There was also a disco that had residents and their family members on their feet – burning off the buns.

Fellow staff members also donned the stickers and wore brightly coloured clothes for the party.

Vicky Brown, home manager at Halton View Care Home, said: “Everyone had a great time at the National Cupcake Week party.

“There were flavours to suit everyone’s tastes and the cakes were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to the families, staff and the cook for baking and Junior Davies for entertaining us with his old movie songs.”
