The annual Bocking Bake Off raised more than £400 for Essex and Herts Air Ambulance.

The theme of Bocking's Got Talent saw a cake sale followed by judging, along with a tombola and limited edition Bocking Bake off merchandise.

Among the cake submissions were two snooker tables, a swimmer diving a coral reef and a tribute to Bocking May Fayre.

The winning cake was by Clare Beckett and showed a dance hall with pairs of dancers taking to the floor.

In second place was Gary Jag and in third there were joint winners Ros Downes and Georgina Downes.

The Rev Rod Reid said: "This year saw the launch of the Bocking Junior Bake Off for Children 11 years and under.

"In joint first place was Jessica Kinch and Isobel Beckett."
