This coming Monday is Cupcake Day for the SPCA. What’s that you ask? It’s one of their major fundraisers, where home cooks around the country bake cupcakes, and cupcake connoisseurs give a donation to the SPCA in order to get one to eat.
My lovely neighbour is a true animal lover (I’ve lost count of how many gorgeous pets she has, everything from fish to Samoyeds). She also works for the local Pet Centre, and each year they join in with Cupcake Day – including roping in friends and family to bake! This year they are holding their Cupcake Day on Saturday 24 August. So can you guess yet what my Friday Night Make was this week?
Yep. Cupcakes!
As they’re for the SPCA, I’ve made them free of animal products. The secret ingredient in these babies is tahini, which makes them wonderfully moist, and they have a hint of nuttiness to them too. Delish!
I have no idea how much they’ll be asking for them, but these are getting picked up from my kitchen at around 8 tomorrow morning, and will be available from The Pet Centre in Lower Hutt. Why not head on down and buy one. It’s for the animals, after all!
