Nearly 48,000 women in the UK are affected by breast cancer every year. There are very few of us who don't know someone effected by this awful disease or other types of cancer. All of us want to help find a cure, but for many of us the best we can do is to donate money to the scientist who are working hard to understand the disease better and to develop drugs to fight it.
You can help to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer by hosting an Avon Pink Pamper Party and Avon have made it even easier to raise money through a bake sale with their Crusade Baking Set. The set contains a pink ribbon and heart shaped cutter and six silicone cupcake holders (pictured above). It costs £5 of which £1.25 is donated directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. All remaining proceeds go to not-for-profit projects. The sets are available from your local Avon representative, or online from the Avon shop.
Having been sent a baking set to play with Mr C got some slightly more exciting cupcakes than usual and I even got my icing bag out too to help decorate them! The cutters provide some different shapes that would be especially great for fundraising biscuits – I would give you one tip though; when using the ribbon cutter the biscuits take a must shorter time to cook than the hear shaped one! I learnt a lesson on that one…
October 2011 is breast cancer awareness month, so why not send off for a baking set now and plan a bake sale for October?
For this blog post I was kindly sent a Crusade Baking Set to review and in return I have made a donation to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
I’m an Avon lady myself and I love this set. Your cakes look great!
