It will be rolling pins and mixing bowls at the ready for our bakers next month as Eat Cake Week returns.

Schools, cafes, restaurants, clubs and cake lovers have signed up to help raise money for the hospices by holding cake crazy events from 13^th June to 20^th June.

Every slice really will make a difference to our hospices and will help ensure we continue to provide vital respite and end of life care to children with a terminal condition and their families.

Fundraiser Cat Dowdeswell said: “From office or school bake-offs to garden parties in the sun, everyone loves a little bit of cake.

“This is a really fun way of being able to get together and share some amazing cake creations, while at the same time making a huge difference to the lives of seriously ill local children.”

Get invovled

Everyone who signs up will receive their very own free Eat Cake pack with all the right ingredients mixed in, including bunting, selfie props, cupcake sweepstake, collection box, cake labels, cake flags and more. Supporters can also get their hands on limited Eat Cake aprons.

Eat Cake Week is being sponsored for a second year by Henllan Bakery.

Ainslie Edwards, managing director, said: “As a family business, we are always keen to support the local community.

“Cake is a great opportunity for all of us to get together around a table and enjoy a piece of cake to raise some money to ensure Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith can continue to do its amazing work.”
