While the word ‘clandestine’ may trigger images of a private detective in one of Raymond Chandler’s novels, the Clandestine Cake Club in Manchester brings together both the illicit and baked goods. Rather like Mary Berry as the new James Bond. That aside, the club is for cake lovers and adventurers alike, with events taking place in mysterious locations all over the city – encouraging members to participate and bring their cakes (quite literally) to the table, in a celebration of the talent and creativity of bakers all over Manchester. The club promises a friendly approach to baking, as opposed to the intimidating cake lovers who wield an array of cake-making weapons the moment the way to make a perfect Victoria sponge is mentioned. With the Manchester Clandestine Cake Club currently seeking new members, and the emphasis on a network of cake enthusiasts rather than competition, the club promises a wealth of resource and opportunity for any aspiring cake maker.
