Cake lovers have whipped up more than £11,000 for us during Eat Cake Week.

From office bake sales to village hall and garden tea parties, hundreds of people have come together to turn cake into care and support seriously ill local children.

More than 100 organisations and businesses signed up for Eat Cake Week with events all over the region held throughout the week.

Both Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith held their own events with families, children and staff all making, buying and of course eating various different cupcakes which were made thanks to a donation of ingredients from local Morrison stores. There were also animal-themed bake-offs for the young adults after a brilliant trip to Chester Zoo.

All of the 14 of our charity shops also got involved, running tombolas, guess the weight competitions and afternoon teas, which raised a marvellous £2,000.

An Amazing Week

Cat Dowdeswell, fundraiser, said: “Cakes and community made the perfect match for us. We want to turn cake into care for the children and families that need us and it’s been fantastic seeing all the wonderful events and creative ideas for cakes, brownies, cookies, and puddings from our incredible supporters.

“Over 100 organisations signed up for Eat Cake week and the support from our community has been incredible.

“We’d like to thank everyone who took part in this amazing week. We have so far raised more than £11,000 with more donations coming in.

“We would also like to give a special thanks to our sponsors Henllan Bakery for helping us ensure that every penny raised during Eat Cake week will go directly to the children we care for.

“But the fun doesn’t have to stop here, if you want to support us by eating cake then you can do by hosting your own cake-themed fundraiser. Our free fundraising packs will be available for the rest of the summer and the whole of 2022.”
