Heyyyy!!! What’s baking today???
Well I’ll tell you what!
Carrot Cake, some sort of Chocolate Cake, Banana Bread and Cup Cakes!!!
I’m trying to choose a chocolate cake from a “The chocolate and coffee bible” book and IT IS overwhelming!!! I’m guessing it’s nearly a thousand cakes to choose from!
Dilemma-should be on a safe side and make a simple chocolate cake, since my experience in this is zero?! Or something special and risk messing is up? (Unlikely, to be honest! Oh yes! Cos I’m that good! Haha)
Anna, a friend of mine, is joining me in the baking day! I appreciate it SO much!!! She will show her expertise in making banana bread and cup cakes. Anna, better protect those cup cakes from my teeth as they are one of my favourites!!
OK, someone who knows me well might ask, why on earth is Giedre baking? It’s not exactly my favourite venture and I’m not an expert in this field! But there is a reason behind it!
Story
I was blessed enough to be able to arrange a Game Park trip for some of the young adults who receive support from Oasis South Africa! They have never been to any game parks even though they live in SA! They never had an opportunity to see the real beauty of SA that it is! The hosts of the game park we will be going to are incredibly kind and they are not charging us a penny!!! It is their contribution to the projects. However, we need fuel to get there and back and snacks. Also, I thought it would be fantastic to give the hosts a present- a framed picture with all of us, them including, at the game park as an appreciation token! Usually these trips cost a fortune, so this is the least we can do!
I’m raising £100 or more!
If you have any fundraising ideas to add to this one - please do share with me! I’m keeping my mind open to any suggestions! Another idea of mine is to organise a South African bbq in two weeks. What do you think? Would you come to a meaty bbq? nom nom!
