What is Cake-Run?
- Cake-Run is a community-based charity project centred around baking cakes for your neighbours.
- It is a month by month charity event. Each month a different member of the community will take up the baton and become the 'HOST' and bake cakes for the community for a charity of their choice.
- It is suggested that Cake-Run happen on the last Sunday of every month.
*Cake-Run does not expect the Host baking the cakes to lose money so they are entitled to show copies of their receipts to the community and to Cake-Run and ensure they break even. After they have broken even, they have to give ALL proceeds to the charity that they have chosen.*
