SPCA Cupcake Day 2017

I recently took a trip to the Whangarei SPCA to deliver some cupcakes and chocolate VW cars to Andrea (manager fo SPCA Whangare at right) and the staff/volunteers who work so tirelessly. I felt they deserved a treat.

The cupcakes were decorated with our 4 new sprinkle medleys which have been created in support of SPCA cupcake day 2017.

$2 from the sale of every pack of these 4 animal themed cupcake medleys will go to SPCA Cupcake Day. You can grab a pack here If oyu love the cupcake papers, you'll find these here too 

Trainer Tom comes to visit Kiwicakes for Pokemon Go

Recently we had a visit at Kiwicakes from Pokemon Go Trainer Tom. Kiwicakes baked cupcakes to sell for $2 each with all funds going to Toms charity Live More Awesome (supporting mental health awareness). We also made Tom a special cake just for him

A great time was had by all, then Tom had to scoot across town to take part in a level 4 Pokemon Go gym raid for a Tyrannitar.
