The annual RSPCA Cupcake Day is on again, raising money to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection. This year National Baking Industry Association is proud and excited to be an official sponsor of the event with Weston Milling also supporting the endeavour. You can help too by registering your bakery as an official RSPCA Cupcake Day Bakery.

To do this is easy; simply follow these three steps;

Basic Recipe

Weston Milling

Madelina Cake Mix…….1.000 kg

Water…………………....…0.650 ltrs

Canola Oil………………...0.120 kg

Method

1. Add water, canola oil, Medelina Mix to bowl.

2. Blend on low speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down.

3. Blend on medium speed for 4 minutes.

4. Scale as required.

5. Bake at 160°C.

6. Decorate as required, once cool.

By using the donated cake mix, each cupcake will cost approximately $0.17.

So if each one is sold at $2.20, each registered bakery will be able to donate almost $90 to the RSPCA! But why stop there, make a few extra batches yourself and you could be donating over $100 – a huge contribution to the charity and a big difference in the lives of the animals.
