Talented Caitlyn Mckenzie was voted champion of the 2025 Meallmore Bake Off competition, with over 750 votes cast by the public. Colleagues and residents from Meallmore care homes - one of Scotland's leading providers of elderly and specialist care - took part in the annual 'Bake Off' competition, with entries coming from ten of the 27 Meallmore care homes across Scotland. 21-year-old Caitlyn, who is also studying Food Nutrition and Textiles Education at University of Highlands and Islands, set out to make a cake that fooled the eye. The chocolate layer cake has a fondant icing, coloured to look like pastry, while the rich, glossy chocolate sauce was added to resemble gravy. The 'mash' was made using butter icing, with the two veg portions created using fondant icing.

Kynnaird House silver place creation The entry from Kynnaird House was a team effort. The vanilla and cream cake sponge was made by kitchen assistant, Kasia Dollberg, with residents providing the decoration with support from Care Home Manager, Roselle Alberto and Activities Coordinator, Chelsey Masson, in honour of a culture and diversity event that took place at the home. Residents also helped with the highland cow shaped entry at Auchtercrag House. Activities coordinator, Julie Crossen baked the four layered chocolate cake and covered it with chocolate buttercream, while residents created hair and flowers out of fondant for the decorations and all-important finishing touches.

I'm over the moon to have won, especially knowing how many incredible entries there were from across Scotland. It's been a joy to share this with my colleagues and residents – they've all been so supportive and excited about the result."

We were blown away by Caitlyn's pie and mash design – it was hard to believe it was actually cake! And we loved seeing the brilliant teamwork involved in the creations at Kynnaird and Auchtercrag.

Sophia Hutchins' funeral date set
Sophia Hutchins' funeral will take place next week. The I Am Cait star - who was also the manager of her close friend Caitlyn Jenner - passed away earlier this month at the age of 29 after being involved in a tragic all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crash, and according to a death certificate obtained by People magazine, Sophia will be laid to rest at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Los Angeles on 24 July. However, a cause of death for Sophia has been deferred and the investigation is ongoing. It was recently reported that Caitlyn has been supporting Sophia's mother, Amy, in the wake of her friend's passing and has offered her a place to stay while dealing with the arrangements around her death and funeral. TMZ reported the pair are said to be "leaning on each other for support" following Sophia's passing. Sophia is believed to have collided with a car while riding an ATV on a road close to Caitlyn's property in Malibu, California on 2 July. It is said she was pronounced dead at the scene, and no one else is believed to have been injured in the accident. Caitlyn is yet to publicly comment on the tragedy, and it is not known whether was at home at the time of the accident. Earlier this month, Caitlyn was said to be "numb with shock" over Sophia's passing. A source told "Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Sophia was a big part of her life." Sophia took over managing Caitlyn's career in 2017 following the reality star's divorce from Kris Jenner. She appeared in her reality show I am Cait and even lived with the star at her Malibu home. Sophia explained the career move in an interview with the New York Times in 2019, insisting she just wanted to protect her friend at a vulnerable time in her life. She told the publication: "I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. "And I was saying: 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke'. "Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship."
