Lisa Faulkner encourages fund-raisers to get baking and brewing

Actress and 2010 Celebrity Masterchef winner, Lisa Faulkner is urging people to grab their teapots and use their culinary expertise to help fight meningitis.
Lisa is backing Meningitis UK’s national Time 4 Tea campaign by putting forward her Fantasy Cake recipe to entice everyone to get creative for the fundraiser.
Time 4 Tea asks people to gather their family and friends, put on a brew and bake a cake or two throughout September.
Lisa Faulkner said: “I’m delighted to be able to help with Meningitis UK’s campaign. I hope that my support and Fantasy Cake help towards their aims.”
Lisa explained she discovered the cake when her friend made it for a picnic. She added: “It was still warm and the strawberries deliciously gooey, and I honestly thought I might have died and gone to heaven it was that good. We nicknamed it the ‘fantasy’ cake.
“It now happens to be Billie, my adopted daughter’s, favourite cake and we make it all the time.”
Meningitis is a devastating disease. It can come out of nowhere and kill in just four hours. Meningitis UK invests in pioneering research to help find a vaccine for every type of meningitis.
A party pack featuring the Fantasy Cake recipe along with balloons, bunting, invitations and a collection box will be sent to anyone who registers for the event. A range of recipes and more details are also available online. To sign up www.meningitisuk.org/time4tea
