Nigella Lawson, Sophie Dahl and Amanda Holden are just some of the celebrities who have contributed to a new celebrity cookbook.

The Cupcake Ward Cookbook - a collection of cupcake recipes and desserts - is the brainchild of 12-year-old Georgie Sussman as a way of raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
