Anything home baked and handmade has always been an ingrained, first-line response to any hardship in our culture and it makes sense to raise awareness in such a heartfelt way with the Australian Red Cross Big Cake Bake. Please get involved any way you can, anyone of us would dread to think where we might be without the incredible work of our Red Cross”
Maggie Beer- Big Cake Bake Ambassador 2015
Big Cake Bake is a delicious way to raise funds for Red Cross and help bake the world a better place. Taking part is easy and anyone can join in. Friends, family or colleagues can join together to bake their favourite cake, slice, pie, cookie, cupcake, savoury dish or dessert. It’s all for a good cause, lots of fun and absolutely guilt free! Events can include a morning or afternoon tea, cake sale, baking or cake decorating competition.
