CAKE COLLABORATION

Last year in celebration of

International Literacy Day

(September 8th), me (Corinna

from Lovin’ from the Oven)

and Heather McGrath (from

Cakepunk) celebrated the works

of William Joyce (www.facebook.

com/SweetBillJoyce) and created

a brilliant collaboration that got

a great reaction from everyone

including William himself. The

response was so positive that

even after fi nishing and swearing

we wouldn’t do another – there

began talks of our other favourite

books growing up. We decided

that we would create another

collaboration to honour all of

the stories that mattered to us

and our children. William Joyce

says it best in one of his books:

“Everyone’s story matters,” and

we completely agree!

Twenty-nine sugar artists from

around the world chose their

favourite stories and have created

amazing tributes to their own

favourite authors and illustrators.

The cakes created were so

fantastic that we had to design the

Facebook page, video and website

to do them justice. We think it has

and we hope everyone else feels

the same.

After contacting some of the

authors themselves they’ve

responded with enthusiasm and

donated signed copies of their

books to help raise awareness

CAKE STORIES

MATTER...

for our charity. This year, we are

tying the collaboration to our

own fundraising page. ALS is a

progressive, neurodegenerative

disease that over fi ve-thousand

people are diagnosed with every

year with a life expectancy of only

2-5 years. Help us share this story

by donating what you can to

allow this invaluable research and

assistance to continue.

Everyone’s story matters.
