So after baking into the wee hours on two consecutive nights, 3 trips to the supermarket for ingredients (including a visit to Asda at 2am!) and a failed batch of cupcakes due to me forgetting to double my quantity of eggs when I doubled everything else I am pleased to say my cake sale at work was a great success!
£167 raised from my home baking, I am amazed and delighted!
Many thanks to everyone who came to my stall and supported me. Thanks also to Kirsty and Angela for helping me set up before everyone descended! Also big shout outs to my neighbour Barbara for lending me some tupperware at the eleventh hour, my good friend Tracy for the very useful hessian bags for carrying it all in, to Sandy at work for providing me with the trestle tables and to Kenny, one of the security guards for letting me into the office in the middle of the night! Amazingly everything was gone within 40 minutes and I was delighted to receive some lovely comments for my baking, notably for my cupcakes, carrot cake and heart shaped jammy biscuits. Mum, you taught me well! ;-)
Here are a couple of photos from the event:
