RSPCA - Cupcake Day

Today is the RSPCA cupcake day which is held all over Australia to raise money for the services and support that the RSPCA provides.  As this involves two of my favourite things - food and pets, I decided to organise a morning tea at my work.

So many cupcakes

I sent a note round to see if anyone else would be interested and had one taker - so it was down to the two of us to provide cupcakes for a company of approximately 80 people.. On the day however quite a few people bought goodies in and we had a plethora of sweet treats that people could choose from!  In fact we had so many that I am staring at a tray of cupcakes right now and deciding if I need an appetiser before lunch. 

My contribution to the day was some lemon cupcakes (with lemon and lime zest), chocolate cupcakes and mocha cupcakes.  I used recipes from the Hummingbird Bakery and adapted the mocha one just for something different.  They seemed to go down pretty well (as any good cook  should - I tasted every single batch so I was confident they would be enjoyed).



But wait there's more!



If anyone would like to donate to the RSPCA you can do online via the following link: donate - I promise I will bake you cupcakes when I see you!  Update - we raised $264 for the RSPCA which is great :)
