A few weeks ago we were contacted by our new friends at the National AIDS Trust to ask us to take part in their Bake Aware Campaign. Raising funds and awareness for the charity through baking? Just our cup of tea!
The campaign aims to get people talking about the birds and the bees, and so that became the theme for our bake sale! We split into two teams, Teams Birds and Team Bees, and a number of our members donated baked goods to the cause. On Sunday 19th May, Joy and I spent the day selling cakes to the lovely folks at the Cambridge Nursing Centre.
Representing Team Birds:
Jennie's Duckie Shortbread
Wendi's Snicker-Dodos
Stacey's Chicken and Bacon "Sausage" Rolls, Birdy Jam Tarts, and Bird Cake Pops
Representing Team Bees:
Catherine's Fridge Cake and Guinness Cake
Joy's Honey and Chocolate Cupcakes and Honey Spiced Cupcakes
(And standing in for Ruth, who had to drop out of Team Bees at the last minute...) Stacey's Bee Cake Pops
We had a fantastic time at the sale, and raised a respectful £47.15 for the charity - not bad for the club's first ever bake sale! If you too would like to raise funds for the National AIDS Trust, just head over to their website to find out how to get involved.
Happy Baking!
