Bake Stall

The cake stall is looking for bakers/cooks to create delicious goodies. Last year we sold out in two hours so we’re looking for additional donations this year.

The following items are popular but we encourage bakers/cooks to also consider this year’s fete theme celebrating our diversity and consider cooking international delicacies (biscotti, baklava, pretzels, burfi):

• cakes, slices and biscuits
• savoury muffins, cheese biscuits
• snacks (e.g. toffees, fudge, meringues, honey joys, marshmallows etc) and
• jams, pickles, preserves and chutneys.

Please see the attached note for more information on how to contribute. You can also contact the Cake Stall Coordinator Evelyn David-Hoole on 0411 062 160.
