Bake it Better
Bake it Better is all about cakes. Baking, selling and enjoying cakes - all for a good cause. It's a simple way to raise funds for Kiss it Better, our appeal to fund research into the causes and treatment of childhood cancer.
What's Bake it Better all about?
Bake it Better takes place from 8 - 14 February 2010 when people up and down the country will be going cake crazy in support of the appeal. (Don't worry if you can't hold your event during that week - just pick a date that's good for you)
We'd love you to take part by baking and selling cakes to your friends, family, colleagues or customers.
Cake sales are easy, delicious and a great way to raise money for a good cause.

Not sure what to bake?
Author and model Sophie Dahl, a long-standing supporter, is supporting the appeal by lending her baking expertise and a gorgeous vanilla cupcake recipe for you to try at home.
Sophie's joined by a host of our other famous faces who have lent us some inspiration with their Bake it Better recipes.
We've also got a fantastic pineapple cake recipe from The Cake Ladies, fundraisers from Yaxley who raised £1,000 with their cake sales between September and December of last year.
Or why not join us on MyDish and seek inspiration from fellow Bake it Better supporters and cooking enthusiasts!
