Cricket fans and baking enthusiasts, gather around! The excitement is bubbling over as we dive into the Every Bake Counts Challenge with the incredibly talented Matty Edgell.

This time, Matty has whipped up something truly spectacular: a cake inspired by The Hundred cricket tournament, and it's a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. Decorated with the signature green and pink colours of The Hundred, this bake is as thrilling as a last-ball finish!

Matty Edgell's cake isn't just any ordinary dessert; it's a vibrant tribute to The Hundred, the exhilarating 100-ball cricket competition that has taken the sports world by storm. The cake's design perfectly captures the essence of the event, with intricate details and bold colours that mirror the dynamic atmosphere of the matches.

Follow me on @MotherOfGrom to watch how we made our cake for the Every Bake Counts challenge!

We loved testing out our baking skills in The Hundred Every. Bake. Counts. challenge! It was a delightful experience, combining our passion for baking with our love for cricket. The kids had a blast, and we all learned a lot about decorating and creativity in the kitchen. This challenge has truly shown us that every bake counts, especially when it brings people together and celebrates something we love. As you can see from the player on our cake, we will be supporting Welsh Fire and can't wait to experience the atmosphere at Sophia Gardens, getting Cardiff rocking for the cricket!

We can't wait for The Hundred cricket competition! This epic 100-ball cricket tournament is back, featuring world-class cricket players from around the globe. With 8 teams and both men’s and women’s squads playing side by side, the action is nonstop! You can enjoy live music at every match, courtesy of BBC Music Introducing and resident DJs. The stadiums, including Sophia Gardens Cardiff, will be packed with passionate fans of all ages, creating an electric atmosphere. As parents of two cricket-loving boys, we are beyond excited! Running from 23 July to 18 August, it’s the perfect summer day out for the whole family.

So, as we eagerly await the start of The Hundred, we’ll keep practicing our baking and cheering for Welsh Fire. Here’s to an unforgettable summer filled with cricket, cake, and countless memories.
