Here is your chance to show off your baking skills! Fancy making a pyramid out of cake or a scarab cup cake?

Be inspired by our Ancient Worlds gallery and get baking! Take a picture of your masterpiece and tweet @McrMuseum including the hashtag, #cakehenge.

We will put them up on our Flickr and the best entries will be displayed on the big screen in the Museum on Big Saturday: Dig Now, Saturday 13 July. You can also bring your cake along or have a go at shabti cake decorating!

If you would like more information check out the Museum Meets blog.
