Over half-term, I decided that I would like to raise some money for charity. I went down to my local church with a poster and pitch I had prepared and asked James the Pastor, if I could put on a charity cake sale after Church service on Sunday. I explained the charities I would like to support were The Royal British Legion, Pangolin Crisis Fund (as this is Aqua House's chosen charity) The National Trust and The Birmingham Hospice. The church kindly agreed and displayed my poster!

I decide to make different flavoured cupcakes; lemon drizzle cakes, chocolate cakes, Victoria sponge butterfly cakes and vanilla cakes. There were also some kind donations from the congregation.

My sister Isabella, and her friend Sophie, also had a homemade craft stall. They spent their half term making hair bands, earrings and various other crafts to sell.

It was amazing, we sold around 70 cakes and crafts, and managed to raise £200, so each of the charities would get £50 each! In order to pull this off I needed to use perseverance, resilience, teamwork and great baking skills!

I am very happy with how it all worked out and I would love to do something like this again!
