I held a cake sale and dress down Friday at work on Friday 22nd May 2009 and raised £62. It all began on Thursday night when I set out to make my Jamie Oliver Victoria Sponge. This is the first cake I have made in over a year so was worried about the result and whether people would pay for my creation. All was going well until my top layer of the sponge decided to split when cooling. I finished the cake and decided to promote it as a San Andreas Fault cake and hope people wouldn’t be put off.
The day was a success and enjoyable too. Everyone was really in good spirit and donated generously. My cake seemed to go down well and I received lots of compliments. My thanks also go to Galla and Susannah who also contributed cakes. Everyone left feeling rather full and caked out by the end of the day. Would definitely do this again and recommend this as a great funraising idea if you have willing employers.
