Over a year since starting, the war in Ukraine is still raging, with thousands dead or injured and millions more displaced as a result of the conflict. On Saturday, 4 March, some of the city's finest bakers will be again offering up their treats at a bake sale to raise fund for the victims.

Some will bring their signature delicacies, such as Mriya's Ukrainian Honey Cake, while others will come up with exclusive one-offs. Coffee, tea, juice, wine and beer will also be provided, along with premium Ukrainian vodka by Dima's Vodka.
