The SPCA (the equivalent of our RSPCA) have an annual event "Cupcake Day for the SPCA" and Sophia & her friends joined in this year.
They got out their aprons and cookbooks, went shopping for ingredients and spent a weekend baking hundreds of cupcakes!
Then they got permission to sell them at school for $2 and it was a huge hit! They raised nearly a $1000 overall !
There were moccachino, chocolate, caramel, strawberry and vanilla cupcakes AND 'Mega Muffins' (what we would call a Giant Cupcake) one was sold and one raffled.
Being New Zealand they also had competitions - Most Extreme Cupcake Eating and Most Artistic - to put on display in a Museum in Wellington! People were bungy jumping with cupcakes and diving (a bit soggy) with them..and some people even dressed up, as cupcakes, to eat cupcakes on the beach!
The City Cake Company and Celebration Cakes were two companies who gave us cupcakes - professionally done - for our Cupcake Day. Thanks to them!!
Once they had the cheque for all the money they raised they went to the SPCA Village for a tour and to receive their badges (in the shape of paw prints!) There were rabbits, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep of course,pups & dogs & cats...the girls wanted to bring all of them home!
