charity.<\/p>\n<p>The former military men and women took on the challenge of baking and decorating a showstopper cake as part of the Colossal Cake Sale, reports the Northern Echo.<\/p>\n<p>Six individuals took part in total, with the prize for the winner set as a chocolate egg from the Little Chocolate Shop in Leyburn.<\/p>\n<p>Shane McConnell, an RAF veteran, was one of those involved and he made a lemon cake as part of the project.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I have learnt a few new techniques like lining the cake tins and not going too deep when you grate the lemon as you don't want to use the pith,&quot; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>However, he did not do enough to win the contest, with that honour instead going to former Royal Artillery member Richard Piggott.<img decoding=\"async\"
