The three-tiered creation from the distribution firm saw off competition from 17 other corporate teams to be crowned Bake 2021 Champions.

Their entry garnered 690 likes on LinkedIn, in a competition that amassed over 3,200 posts and more than 560 comments as users rated and ranked the efforts.

Connect Mortgages took home a £1,000 cheque for their cake, which they will donate to Indee Rose Trust, a national charity that supports children who have been diagnosed with brain or spinal tumours.

Precise Mortgages will also donate £1,000 to their chosen charity, the Campaign Against Living Miserably, a national charity that seeks to prevent suicide.

Precise Mortgages head of corporate accounts, Liza Campion says: “Congratulations to the team at Connect Mortgages on their inventive entry which not only included a miniature suited and booted [Precise Mortgages group distribution director] Roger Morris, but also featured a vegan tier to highlight the tailored solutions they offer to meet customers’ different needs.

“They’re a deserved winner after being named runners-up in our first bake competition back in 2019.”

Campion adds: “A massive thank you to everyone who has taken the time out of their busy schedules to enter. The time and effort they’ve put in to their bakes has been outstanding. We’ve seen some real culinary creativity.

Connect Mortgages managing director Liz Simms says: “We’re absolutely chuffed to win this prestigious and fantastically fun bake off. Our star baker Tracey Robinson did an amazing job on behalf of the Connect Mortgages’ team, and we all loved our mini Roger.
