Hello everyone, my name is Amy and I am the proper offish
UNICEF on campus blogger for UoB this year! Nice to meet y’all.
In my humble opinion, cake sales are one of the best things
in life. You feel good about yourself because you are giving money to charity,
and of course, YOU GET TO STUFF YOURSELF WITH DELICIOUS CAKE! There are
literally no drawbacks.
Not entirely based on this thought process, UNICEF on campus
hosted a bake sale on Thursday 16th October in the Guild – their
first event of this academic year (exciting stuff). We voted to raise money for
the children suffering in the conflicts in Syria, an excellent cause – more on
this topic in the next blog post, so stay tuned!
The day before, UNICEF members flocked to various houses
around Selly Oak to channel their inner Mary Berry and make an array of
fabulous flapjacks, brilliant brownies, marvellous muffins and more. Can we
just appreciate my use of great adjectives AND the power of three in one fell
swoop there. This blogging malarkey is easy…ANYWAY, all of our cakes were made
by ourselves which made them even tastier, obvs. Leonie – that peach muffins recipe
to me please, ASAP.
Oh my god, what a babe.
On the day, the cake sale was most definitely a resounding
success - £170.81 was made overall which is really good. Thanks to everybody
that made the effort to make cakes, buy a cake or 5 (I definitely did not do
that), and those who helped run the stall throughout the day – including people
that texted and badgered their friends on campus til they came and bought a
cake! GREAT EFFORT.
Dem cakes tho.
As I said, next blog post will be on the cause we fundraised
for, the UNICEF project working with children in Syria. So please come back and
procrastinate from your work on this site again at some point soon :)
