Bake & Donate Cakes
Baking cakes together or doing a cake workshop is a lovely way to spend a few hours with your hens if you’re a fan of making (or eating!) cake. It’s a relaxing and mindful way to spend a few hours together over the weekend with your friends & hens.
“you can easily pass on some cake-fuelled joy to other people”
The fun doesn’t need to stop at your hen do, since you can easily pass on some cake-fuelled joy at the same time to other people who may not be able to afford it themselves.
There are some wonderful charities who work to feed people who struggle to buy food; like shelters, food banks, women’s refuges and Free Cakes For Kids who specifically provide birthday cakes.
If you’re going to do some baking and want to make an impact on the local community as well, then consider making some extra cakes or a special one that can be donated.
How to bake & donate cakes
You probably don’t need us to tell you how to bake a cake but we’ve got a few tips on how to make this a special hen party activity and the best way to make donations like this.
Decide whether you’re baking on your own at home or if you’ll find a cake workshop.
If you’re going to take a class or workshop, tell them in advance that you plan to donate some of the cakes or bake extra for donation.
Identify where you’ll donate to and check their requirements for accepting donations - some will have requirements for food safety or might only accept donations at certain times.
Once you’ve got all the information you need to make sure you can bake & donate successfully you can plan this into your hen party schedule.
Don’t forget to work out how and who will drop off the cakes you’ll donate.
Bake!
