Chocolate Fair, York Food and Drink Festival (18th - 27th September)
I volunteered at the Clandestine Cake Club's Charity Bake Sale Stall at the chocolate fair, part of York's Food and Drink Festival. The Clandestine Cake Club was selling slices of cakes and cupcakes to raise money for good causes, York Rescue Boats and Free Cakes For Kids York. Before I helped out on the afternoon shift I had a wander round the stalls.

Smartie Pants Chocolate Cake, part of Clandestine Cake Club: A Year of Cake
It was great seeing a number of independent chocolatiers and confectioners represented including York Cocoa House, a fascinating chocolate cafe in the city, and known for its infamous 'Afternoon Chocolate' and its masterclass programmes. I had an opportunity to sample some of their chocolate. It was interesting to see The Rowntree Society represented and learnt about their York Remembers Rowntree project. This is an oral history project that ran from September 2013 to March 2015.
It's good to see the chocolate fair, held in the beautiful city's Guildhall, well supported by the public. Clandestine Cake Club raised an incredible amount for the said charities. To learn more about Clandestine Cake Club please check out their website. A good Sunday afternoon!
