Have you ever baked a cake and it’s turned out to be complete disaster? by Jackie Swift

on

…. In this case, that was the (w)hole idea! 



On the 28th February Jackie Swift presented this cake to Dr Tony Cooper, our very own world-renowned sinkhole expert, to celebrate his retirement from BGS. 

Jackie said "I made this cake in tribute to his long and outstanding career, and to his all-round good-bloke-iness".


Jackie Swift is the Personal Assistant to the Science Director of Geology and Regional Geophysics at our Keyworth Office. Jackie also helps run the office baking club, Billy's Basement Bakers, who do amazing work for local charities. Last year they raised over £2000 by selling their own recipe book. Find out more about them on our website.
