A TEMPTING red velvet cake and other American classics baked by Hexham cafe owners Nico and Ashley Nicoletti in aid of a local charity sold for more than £100.

Visitors to the Zest cafe stall in the town’s market place snapped up the American duo’s tasty treats, making a total of £120 for Tynedale Hospice at Home.

It was part of the hospice’s Big Tynedale Bake campaign, which has made more than £3,000 so far.

The Big Tynedale Bake ends this month. If you would like to help, contact community fund-raiser Cathy Bates on (01434) 600388.
