The sum of €2,600 in aid of Puttinu Cares was raised from donations made by people visiting Arkadia commercial centre in Victoria on Easter Saturday. As a token of appreciation visitors were given a slice of a huge Easter torte prepared by David Mercieca of David’s Bakery and his sons Manuel and Mark. To make the torte the Merciecas used 100kg of pastry, 120kg of pure almonds and five kilos of Easter eggs. The torte cost €800 and took 20 hours to complete.
