Cupcake Day for the RSPCA

At Cat Diaries, we love a good cause. In fact, the only thing we love more than a good cause is a good cupcake, so imagine our delight when we realised it was that time of the year again- time for the RSPCA’s Cupcake Day!

Held this year on Monday, August 16th, Cupcake Day is the biggest bake-off in the Southern Hemisphere and involves aspiring Masterchefs putting on their aprons, baking up a storm and hosting a cupcake party to raise vital funds for the RSPCA.

If you are interested in hosting a cupcake party, simply head to the Cupcake Day website, register your party and then invite your friends to donate online. It’s free to register, and proceeds go towards assisting the care and protection of Australia’s animals.

If the 16th of August doesn’t work for you, there’s the option of holding your cupcake party at any time during the month of August. And while you won’t need any more persuading (if you’re anything like us) to get on board the cupcake train, how’s this for a bonus: for every $100 you fund raise online, you get an entry into the draw to win 2 Kymco scooters.

Last year, Cupcake Day helped raise $1.1 million to assist in the care and protection of Australia’s animals. This year they aim to top that total and reach the target of $2.5 million! It’s a fun way to help a great organization do their good works and there is the added bonus of winning a great prize – what’s not to love?  So Cat Diaries are betting that the RSPCA will reach their target!

Everyone loves a cupcake, so get involved and unleash your inner sweet tooth. We’re loosening our belts in anticipation…
