Stepping Up

Here is a little project for 2014 which I have embarked on...

The goal to raise $1000 for Destiny Rescue, and organisation that saves girls who have been caught in the awful sex trade, mostly against their will in countries like Cambodia and Thailand.

When I verbally agreed to doing this, in my head, I kept saying to myself 'Yeah right as if you'll be able to do that'. Then one day, I had the idea that I'd turn my baking hobby into something that could raise some funds for the charity.

And so Cakes for a Cause was born!

I had a bake sale during the Nanango markets in May just to try and get the word out. It was amazing, because out of the 80+ cupcakes that had been baked the nights leading up to the markets, only TEN were left. That meant an almost 90% sale which I couldn't really believe! I had half expected to be bringing back at least half the cupcakes!

It's been enjoyable, terribly tiring, exciting, rewarding and amazing all at the same time as I see how God has really allowed this opportunity to take flight.

(I'm a terrible terrible sales and PR person and just really suck at advertising, so any props from you will be helpful just so that the word about Destiny Rescue gets out as well!)
