Last weekend, my friend and I hosted a Bake A Difference event to raise money for Muscuular Dystrophy UK. I suggested to do this because we both enjoy baking and thought it be a great way of fundraising for charity.
(Although the image above does say 8th – 14th Oct, neither my friend nor I were available that week and did it last weekend instead)
On the Friday, my Mum and I began the baking preperations by making banana bread and chocolate biscuits. Then on the Saturday, my friend and I spent 4 hours, yes FOUR HOURS, baking a variety of delicious treats.
That afternoon we baked chocolate brownies, halloween cupcakes and a rhubarb & custard cake.
On the Sunday, we hosted an afternoon tea party and had friends come over, brought some more baking goodies and donated money in exchange for cake. It was a fun and lively afternoon and we raised lots of money.
On Monday, my Dad took the rest of the cakes to work and sold them to his colleagues.
In additn to the bake sale, I also chose MDUK as October’s disability charity for blog donations.
As a result of everyone’s hard work baking, attending the tea party and donating, we’ve raised a total of = £118
Thank you to everyone who was involved and for supporting such an amazing charity!
UPDATE: As of 11:30am on 02/11/2018 another £10 has been donated thanks to my Grandma Shirley. The total is now at £128.
The Rhubarb and Custard cake was amazing. Well done on the money raised you’re an inspiration.
