Well, the mixing bowls have been put away after another fantastic Cupcake Day. As one of our major fundraising events of the year we really appreciate everyone who was involved, from our sponsors to over 300 organisations and individuals who baked cupcakes to sell, to everyone who bought cupcakes on the day or stopped by our stands to smile and tell us we were doing a good job. We are so proud of our generous community.

Special thanks to Moore Wilson’s, Cafe Polo, Tempt, Decorada, Martha’s Pantry, Cupcakes, Cupcake Sweeties and Costume Company for their support of Cupcake Day.

Final figures on how much we have raised are not available yet, but we’re hoping to beat last year’s total of $43,000. That will be a tremendous effort from Wellington. We hope you enjoyed the cupcakes as much as we did and thank you again for helping us to look after the 5000 or so animals who pass through the doors of our centres in the Wellington region each year.

Cheers,

Iain.

It’s just three sleeps until Cupcake Day, but there’s still time to sign up to support us! As an organisation that receives no direct government funding, we rely on public support to care for the over 5000 animals who come through our doors every year.

We need you – yes you! – to fire up your oven, dust off that mixing bowl and whip up a batch (or five!) of your scrummiest cupcakes ever. On Cupcake Day, sell your delicious cupcakes to everyone you know and put a smile on their faces! The money you raise will come to Wellington SPCA to help us continue looking after the welfare of animals in the region.

Apart from the satisfaction of baking and making your friends and workmates happy with your treats, you could also win some great prizes for participating.

Perhaps though, you’re more of an eater than a baker? That’s great, we need you too! If you know someone baking, buy cupcakes from them. And if you’re in town on Monday, you can come buy cupcakes directly from us.

We’ll be selling delicious treats at the Wellington Railway Station from 7am-9am (trust us, cupcakes make a great breakfast food on the go!), and outside Capital on the Quay from 10am until all the cupcakes are gone. Come say hi, buy a cupcake or make a donation.
