Make the leap and help animals by baking cupcakes for the National Cupcake Day this February 29th.
Did you know that simply by baking cupcakes you can help animals in need? Bakers across the country are pulling out their aprons and dusting off their cupcake tins in preparation for Canada’s fourth annual National Cupcake Day for SPCAs and Humane Societies this February 29th, a day when indulging your sweet tooth is entirely guilt-free.
Participants who register at www.nationalcupcakeday.ca before January 31st and raise $50 will be automatically entered to win a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, the perfect kitchen appliance for whipping up cupcake batter or scrumptious frosting.
“What I love about Cupcake Day is that it’s so easy to get involved,” says National Cupcake Day spokesperson and self-proclaimed bungling baker, Kristina Matisic. “Cupcakes are pretty simple to bake. Trust me, if I can pull it off, anyone can.”
Proceeds from the event go to SPCAs and Humane Societies across the country, helping to support animals big and small, who have been abused, abandoned or in need of help. The Ontario SPCA will use these funds to find homes for surrendered, rescued, neglected or abused animals, and provide emergency care to injured animals.
“If you’re not a pro baker, don’t let that stop you,” says Matisic. “I’ve been known to pull out the box of mix now and again. After all, it’s not about the cupcakes themselves, it’s about making a difference.”
