Pet Lovers Unite for National Cupcake Day

My two dogs, Bennie and Junior, are in many ways the cornerstone of my sanity. When the world feels like a strange and unusual place, there’s no better tonic than coming home to the perpetual wagging of my little boys squirming with delight.

Sunsets and days off, sale racks of designer shoes and handwritten notes; these are the things that make life sweeter. Sometimes they come individually, and occasionally they combine in unexpected ways, like the unwavering love (and cuteness) of a loyal pooch and a rich, tiny cake – the cupcake; it’s literally the PERFECT combo!

Few things work together better than loving pets and eating cupcakes, especially when you can do both at the SAME TIME! This is why we’re very excited for National Cupcake Day, a fundraiser for SPCAs and Humane Societies across Canada happening on Monday February 29th, 2016.

It’s a wonderful way to contribute to the welfare of animals and a great excuse for a baking party if you feel like getting in on the action with a group of friends. Keep it simple or go the extra mile by making dog or cat themed cupcakes – totally up to you!

To start, choose your local participating SPCA or Humane Society. Then, all you gotta do is bake the cupcakes and raise some cash money through pals, family or anyone else who’d like to help! A delicious treat made tastier by the knowledge that your effort ensures animals in need are not left to suffer without help. The funds raised are then donated to your chosen charity, which is actually the sweetest part.
