Cakes for Quakes





Last week my friend, Ela, and I decided that we needed to do something to help the relief efforts in Haiti. Not having £2 billion pounds (or whatever the current estimates are up to), we decided that we needed to solicit money from our friends. Then we decided that the best way to our friends' hearts (i.e. wallets) was through their stomachs! So we baked bunches of cakes and brought them to the Institute of Astronomy for "tea time". Ela is a fantastic baker so we had a huge selection of cakes including brownies, carrot cake, Polish crumble cake, vegan gingerbread, vegan chocolate cupcakes, and gluten-free lemon drizzle cake. People seemed to enjoy the cakes and in the end we raised over £300. So, what is £2,000,000 minus £300...?
