Those marketing folk at the RSPCA are a clever bunch..no? Can there be a better combination, cute animals and yummy cupcakes!
Monday August 18th (a day after my birthday!) is Cupcake Day for the RSPCA. RSPCA Cupcake Cooks across Australia will descend on their schools, workplaces and social groups with batches of yummy homemade cupcakes to sell. With 100% of the proceeds will go to the RSPCA.
Whether you want to be an RSPCA Cupcake Cook or simply an RSPCA Cupcake eater, you will be supporting the thousands of animals we care for everyday.
To get involved and host your own Cupcake party all you need to do is go to the site and register your details and the will send you a Cupcake kit for all the details you will need to know for the day! Or you can download it from the site.
Anyone can get involved to bake or eat cupcakes for the animals. I think I will be going on a weekend long cupcake baking and eating bender!
They even have animal friendly cupcake recipes for our furry families!
Pupcakes
Here’s a special occasion, sweet treat for your pups. Remember, to serve up these doggy cupcakes in
moderation, we don’t’ want your poodle addicted to strudel!
2 3/4 cups water
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups wholemeal flour
1 cup dried apple pieces – you can also use fresh fruit
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg, beaten slightly
4 tablespoons honey
Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
Mix all wet ingredients thoroughly. Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients slowly , scraping well to make sure no dry mixture is left.
Pour into muffin tins.
Bake for 1 1/4 hours. Insert a toothpick into the centre of a pupcake and if it comes out dry, they are ready to come out of the oven.
Wait until cooled to serve.
Store in a sealed container.
Makes around 12-14 pupcakes.
Wow, that is such a wonderful idea!
Yaffa & Sebastian’s last blog post..What animal am I?
That sounds good enough for me to eat…I wonder if that’s why my ex husband used to call me a b*tch?
The Cairns crew are holding their cup cake stall today, maybe they are all busy in August perhaps???
It is a great idea and I am glad the RSPCA is doing it.
