Grab your cupcake ingredients, dust off your chef's hat and get your mixer ready for Cupcake Day for the RSPCA, a new RSPCA fundraising initiative.
On Monday 18 August, RSPCA Cupcake Cooks across Australia will descend on their schools, workplaces and social groups with batches of yummy homemade cupcakes to sell. 100% of the proceeds will go to the RSPCA.
Whether you want to be an RSPCA Cupcake Cook or simply an RSPCA Cupcake eater — you will be supporting the thousands of animals we care for everyday.
