Cakes for Japan

Just wanted to let you all know that the Cakes for Japan charity event in London was a huge success. All of the cakes sold out within 3 hours and over £2,000 was raised for the Red Cross. I was so happy to be a part of this. Here's what I made........

Sushi cupcakes decorated with white sugar sprinkles (to represent rice) and  handmade sugarpaste prawns, salmon and egg strips

and cherry blossom cookies....

There are lots of other Cakes for Japan events being held across the UK. Check out this site to find an event near you.

Cakes for Japan

 

Tomorrow (18th march) a pop-up shop is going to be appearing at Maiden (188 Shoreditch High Street)  from 11-7pm to raise funds for the Red Cross following the devastating events in Japan.

Professional and amateur cake makers from all over London are donating edible treats for sale, with all money taken being donated to charity. So if you're in the area be sure to pop in and show your support. I'll be baking sushi-inspired cupcakes and cherry blossom cookies. A list of some of the goodies which will be available and their amazing creaters are on the Cakes for Japan blog. Check it out!
