This week I made some Remembrance Poppy cakes to take into work to raise money for The Royal British Legion. The cakes were standard fairy cakes, which I decorated with poppies I’d made from sugar paste.

I only took in 15 cakes as its not the biggest office and charged 50p a cake. I raised £11 not a huge amount but I was pleased, people even continued to contribute when all the cakes had been sold.

A special mention in this post for my Great Uncle, Stanley James Holloway, Army Private 4th Battalion Essex Regiment who died 3 November 1917 aged 23.

Those cakes look great. What a brilliant idea!
Great idea, the simple sugar paste poppies are very effective. You could have charged much more.
What a lovely sentiment to raise money & remember someone Using your talent.
They look too good to eat
Oh what lovely cakes. Great idea and great post xx
What a lovely idea. The cakes look great!
I though I left a comment here. I am inspired by these and will certainly try to remember to make them for next year. They are perfect for Remembrance Day x
