A BAKING competition will be the icing on the cake for a West Oxfordshire business’s 21st birthday.

Aston Pottery is hosting a weekend of family acitivities this Saturday and Sunday, including a ‘bake off’ and cake-decorating competition.

The events mark the 21st birthday of the pottery, which employs 25 staff.

Yesterday, Bethany Sparrowhawk, four, pictured, got a taste of the festivities by decorating cup cakes.

Her mum Julia said: “She absolutely loved it.

“We live in the village so we’ve been here many times before and it’s a nice thing to have locally.”
