Cake Sale
Last week we had a Cake Sale to raise some money for the Canvas trip to Mexico to build a house with Casas por Cristo. In the States, we call them bake sales, but in England they are called cake sales. One of the students who is going on the trip, Kim, initiated the fundraising event. Kim came up with about 6 different recipes and spent hours in the kitchen. Kim was incredible and we could not have done it with out her. We made around 300 cakes (meaning cup cakes or cookie bars type things, all of which the British call cakes) and we had another 50 or so cakes contributed by other friends at Canvas. We set up a table next to campus and sold about 200 cakes that afternoon, and finished selling the cakes at night by going around to the dorms and knocking on doors. Overall the cake sale made around £150 and was a great way for us to spend time with students.
