After facing the wrath of social media critics over a terribly baked anniversary cake for Uganda Airlines, Britam gave it another shot.“We failed badly and agreed to extend the challenge to the experts.”Those were the remarks of Britam Uganda CEO Allan Mafabi as he admitted to the badly done cake they handed over to Uganda Airlines as they celebrated their first anniversary.
A picture of the poorly baked cake went viral on social media and obviously attracted a lot criticism and gave the trolls a field day. The end result was a statement and a bake-off challenge competition.While handing over the winning cake to Uganda Airlines CEO Cornwell Muleya at the Airlines offices last Friday, Mafabi thanked all the 132 bakers who took part in the #BritamBakeOff challenge and hailed the winners, Cake Album, for the good job.“The time and effort you all put in to share your ideas and make these cakes is highly appreciated and we thank you. It is a true example of how, when we come together, we can do amazing things to show our appreciation for our country. And for that, we are eternally grateful,” Mafabi said.Staff of Uganda Airlines cut their anniversary cake from the bake-off challenge.
