The Great Pink Bake Off

 

Hey all!

A slightly different post today, talking about the Great Pink Bake Off. As you may know this month was Breast Cancer Awareness month, where people across the country help to raise funds for this amazing charity. After attending a Breakthrough event last month Jess and I couldn't wait to get fundraising and when we heard about the Nationwide Cake Sale we couldn't think of a better way to raise some cash (when someone mentions cake there is no stopping us!)

So last Friday, we organised a Great Pink Bake Off in our Sixth form, where our lovely friends baked cakes for us to sell at Break time. We raised over £100, and were absolutely thrilled. A huge thanks to all those who baked and brought for us, we love you!

There is still time to get involved, head over to http://pinkbakeoff.org/  for more information!

Loads of love, Paloma

Let them eat cake!...

 

Hey Guys!!!

So, Paloma and I recently took part in Cafod's 'Big Share' in order to raise money for children in Africa. We baked and baked for this fundraiser event in which the entirety of our sixth form took part in, whether it was to bake the numerous and delicious cakes, or to buy heaps and heaps, after all, who can say no to cake!

We raised a huge amount of money, considering the size of our little sixth form  close to the £300 mark :) We are so proud of our year and want to thank Eleanor and Hannah (our liturgy reps) for setting it all up.

Below, you can see our bakes. I made two coffee cakes which were much desired, at the end of the day, coffee cake is the best kind of cake, and Paloma made amazing Nutella macaroons! Don't they look shop-bought! Recipes on the blog soon :)

Anyway, we want you all to take part in a fundraiser! They're so much fun and we'll be doing one for Breakthough Breastcancer next week, wish us luck!

Loads of love, Jess xxx

Hey all!

First and foremost sorry for the extremely picture heavy post, but its for a very worthy cause so I hope we're forgiven! On Wednesday me and Jess were invited to Breakthrough Breast cancer's showroom event. Breast cancer effects many women (and men!) all over the world, but with new technologies and treatments constantly being discovered everyday we are a step closer beating it. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so throughout this time we'll be showing ways to fundraise and a range of amazing products that you can buy!

With brands such as GHD, Avon, M&S and Pineapple all having created special 'Pink' products, what better time to buy? And if pink is not your colour don't fear M&S have created a gorgeous range of sleepwear and underwear with not a bit of pink in sight. Going shopping and doing your bit? ... do I need to do any more persuading?!
