2011 Great Irish Bake

Bake a difference for Temple Street

Calling all domestic goddesses, budding pastry chefs or cupcake queens! This November, Temple Street Children's University Hospital wants you to dust off your pinny and whip up some delicious creations to sell to your friends, family, colleagues or even random strangers - all in aid of helping sick Irish children to get the treatment they need.

There is no limit to the ways you can get involved, whether you hold a morning tea at work, a bake sale at school or donating a portion of your cake shop's daily proceeds, everyone will be sure to want a slice whilst contributing to a very worthy cause.

Start spreading the news... win a trip to New York!

By holding a Great Irish Bake this November, you can 'bake and raise' your way to New York for two nights including Aer Lingus flights and accommodation. To be in with a chance to win, simply register your bake sale with us and return your funds by 25 November 2011. Download poster here.
