Jewish Care's biggest grassroots event of the year saw a record 4,500 people from London and the surrounding areas take part in its annual Great Jewish Bake Day, designed to raise awareness, involvement and, on a small scale, funds.
Cake was the unifying factor as pupils, staff, supporters, volunteers and clients - plus a dozen shops and kosher bakeries - engaged in a variety of activities linked to baked confections.
At Redbridge Jewish Community Centre, a Mad Hatters' Tea Party was arranged for members and residents from the Vi and John Rubens home, who welcomed children from the Wohl Ilford Jewish Primary.
In Southend, Jewish Care volunteer Carolyn Squires took things outside by hosting a poolside tea party.
