Cakes for cups and cooking pots is all about supporting disadvantaged communities

This event aims to raise funds to support Mothers’ Union project work. Projects like the one in Sudan where Mothers’ Union learners, as a result of making  a small profit from an cultivation programme, are now able to buy cups and plates which they hire out for weddings and other social events. And a project in Ethiopia where Mothers’ Union supply cooking pots to families arriving in refuge camps from nearby Sudan.

 

On July 10^th 2010 I will bake 1,000 individual portions of cake in the church centre of my local Mothers’ Union branch.Cakes will be baked in the oven, on a griddle pan and refrigerator cake in the fridge. It is just about possible for one person to achieve this as I will not be using a food processor or blender,  just a spoon and knife and hand whisk.

Call in if you are in the area to buy some of the cakes. For those of you too far away to buy one of my cakes, sponsor me through this justgiving.com and here is a cake you can make for yourself in a mug!

Thank you to Food Fayre of West Kirby for sponsoring the ingredients for the cakes.
