A PRESENTATION was the icing on the cake for charity bosses.

Hospice Homecare, based at the Friarage Hospital, in Northallerton, was one of eight Yorkshire charities to benefit from a share of a £36,000 windfall.

The cash was raised by staff from Betty's, the North Yorkshire chain of tea-rooms, bakers and confectioners over the year through quiz nights, theme nights and sponsored runs.

Yesterday, they made their donation all the more mouth-watering by handing over a giant gift cake - shaped like a parcel - to staff from the hospice.
