Arts&Life reigned supreme in The National's inaugural bake-off.
It was a one-two finish for Arts&Life at The National's first ever bake-off.
Amongst the hustle and bustle of the daily news cycle, newspaper staff had the chance to showcase their baking skills.
The rules were simple: it had to be baked and feature chocolate.
Six dishes made the cut including a jar of chocolate chip cookies and a mega triple-chocolate cheese cake.
After gorging on all six dishes, judges found the energy to pick the winner using the cutting edge technology of clapping - the cake receiving the loudest applause clinches the title.
It was Arts&Life's assistant editor James Gabrillo coming on top with his raspberry and white chocolate cake.

The birthday boy said he decided to go against the grain.
“I wanted to make something simple and light,” he said.
“When I found out entries had to have chocolate in them, I decided I didn't want to make anything too heavy or too sweet, so I used white chocolate shavings and fruit.”
Arts&Life page editor Sarah Ferguson came second with her popular Nanaimo bars.
