$411 Raised for the SPCA!

We did it! The first National Cupcake Day I participated in was an amazing success! $411 raised for an amazing cause!

I had about 120 cupcakes baked myself topped with vanilla icing and little royal icing paw prints, then some of my coworkers baked me a few more dozen.

We set up shop on February 23rd at 11am, I was mentally prepared to be there as long as I had to, to sell all those cupcakes WELL, 3pm came and we had one single cupcake remaining and my last generous customer swooped it up! I was completely blown away by the generosity of my customers, most of them didn't even want a cupcake ( I was set up in a store next to a 24hour GoodLife...) when they found out the money was going to the SPCA the donations were pouring in!

I can still accept donations until March 14th at www.nationalcupcakeday.ca Search: Nicole Hubley


I am super excited for next year! As this was my first year I learned a lot along the way! So grateful for my friends and coworkers who helped me fill in the blanks with whatever I forgot!

Next year...
I will definitely be doubling up on the cupcakes!
Posters- Banners and Balloons!
A nice big donation jug
Incentives for customers to donate pet food
Possibly a puppy...
A CHAIR. I make my living on my feet but I am always doing something, so standing and chatting for 4 hours was a little rough on the legs!
