Cup cake challenge to raise money for Cancer Council

The Peninsula will be awash with cupcakes at the end of May in honour of volunteer Ms Sandra McArtney.

Coast Community Connections will host Sandra's Cupcake Challenge at the Peninsula Community Centre as part of the organisations Australia's Biggest Morning Tea on May 26, with proceeds going to the Cancer Council.

Acting CEO Ms Di Spragg said Australia's Biggest Morning Tea and Sandra's Cupcake Challenge was a way for locals to support the Cancer Council and support the many people who were diagnosed with cancer each day.

Ms Spragg said Ms McArtney worked as a volunteer with Coast Community Connections for two years and was a much loved part of the team.

The Cupcake Challenge was inspired by her love of baking.

The event will help raise funds for cancer prevention, research and support services and Sandra's Cupcake Challenge encourages participants to enter one of three categories for adults, children and high school students with either packet made or hand-made cupcakes that are iced and decorated.

"We understand that people might want to focus on decorating their cupcakes rather than baking so have offered the option to use a packet mix base for the cupcakes themselves," she continued.

"Sharing a social cup of tea and some delicious food while fundraising has also provided a great platform for local residents and community members to come together to enjoy a morning of social activities and fun."
