For the last 15 years Michelle Vanlint has opened up her Derby Road home for a bake sale where she raises around £8,000, enough to run the children’s hospice for one day.
The cake trail begins on Friday at Michelle's home and begins its journey across Redbridge and the world. Picture: Michelle Vanlint - Credit: Archant
This year she is running a stall outside of her home to follow social distancing guidelines but neighbours and friends from around the world decided to get in on the action.
