GSPCA Cupcake Week 25th - 31st March 2013

Submitted by GSPCA on 10:45, 26th Feb, 2013 | 0

Monday 25th March to the 31st March 2013 is the second GSPCA Cupcake Week here in Guernsey.

Can you make/bake & sell cupcakes to raise money for the GSPCA?  By doing so you would be helping many injured and abandoned animals. 

Why not get baking, organise a cupcake sale or coffee morning, or if you're a business maybe sell some on the day and make a percentage to go the GSPCA.
