Calling all Star Bakers…and soggy bottoms
The local charity hopes to engage with the nation’s love of baking, encouraging supporters rise to the occasion and hold bake sales and baking activities to help raise much-needed funds.
Anyone interested in signing up for the Great Autism Bake will receive a special free fund-raising pack full of hints, tips and recipe ideas from VIB’s (Very Important Bakers) to help them get started, The pack includes recipes from celebrities and top local venues, The Four Bells in Woodborough and French Living in the City Centre plus one donated by ourselves here at NottinghamLIVE.
The fundraising pack is available by signing up through the charity’s website and submitting an email address for it to be sent to. After this the bake sales can be held at any time up until late November. The grand total raised is to be announced in early December.
