Selwyn Chapel was the centrepiece of our Family Day on July 2nd when we were celebrating 40 years since the admission of women to the College. But the talking point was a cake, not the building. An edible model of Chapel was created by Carolyn Collins, mother of two Selwyn students; and the photograph below shows what an accurate rendition it was of the building.
Mrs Collins worked from photographs to achieve her astonishing level of detail. The finishing touches include an icing version of the college dog, YoYo, in one of her favourite positions on the Old Court lawn. The consensus among the guests on Saturday was that the cake was as delicious to eat as it was wonderful to look at – and we’re very grateful to Carolyn for her contribution to the success of the day.
