CRY Great Cake Bake 2024

Thank you to everyone who joined CRY for the 13th annual CRY Great Cake Bake!
The official date of the event was Friday 29th November, during Raising Awareness Week, however, supporters far and wide dusted off their baking aprons throughout November and into December, to bake some delicious treats!
This year an incredible £8,938.36 was raised by 36 amazing supporters who took part in the event, we are so grateful to you all. Whether you baked for your office, school, neighbours or friends and family – thank you.
It has been lovely seeing all of your wonderful creations and it is clear how much time and care you have all put into your cake bakes. Raising awareness is just as important as raising funds and your support makes a meaningful difference in CRY’s mission.

Competition time!
This year we had two competitions…
1. The Best Cake Design
Hilary Nicholls wins the Best Cake Design! A red heart tiered cake, embellished with vintage frilled icing and soft pink sprinkles, with a cherry on top! Hilary held her cake bake in memory of her daughter Clarissa.
2. Most Awareness Raised
Kate Taylor wins Most Awareness Raised! With the help of our CRY teddy bears, Kate has thought of every detail… from homemade jams adorned with CRY stickers to personalized CRY take-away boxes, all beautifully arranged behind draped bunting.
