Upcoming Event

This Sunday we are hosting a fundraising event at Ashtead Football Club. The owners are very kindly allowing us to use the club and its facilities - Thank you! We are holding a 5-a-side Football match and setting up an assault course out on the courts for our 60+ guests and then moving on inside the club for food, drink and raffle. We have been donated some fantastic raffle prizes from generous local shops and businesses including £100 House of Fraser Hamper, Restaurant Vouchers and a Cake from the local bakery.
Fingers crossed the weather stays as nice as it has been the past few days!

Ashtead Station Bake Sale

We would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all the commuters and travelers that came through Ashtead station this morning. Thanks to all your generous donations towards our cake sale, we managed to raise a whopping £287!!!

We had an epic baking day yesterday, Leanne made over 100 Cup Cakes, Emily made 45 Cookies, 2 Victoria Sponges and Millionaire Shortbread and I made 20 Brownies, 26 Flap Jacks and 30 Butterfly cakes, a Coffee Cake and a Fruit Loaf (With help from my Nan!) Needless to say, our houses smelt pretty amazing! Our friend Lauren very kindly made us a batch of White Chocolate Brownies - Thanks Lauren!

Despite the unbelievably grim weather, we arrived at the station just before 6am to put posters up and set up our cake stall next to the coffee man, Adrian. We had soooo many cakes it didn't seem like we were ever going to shift them! Throughout the morning people were taking an interest in what we were doing, many donating us money but not wanting cakes! By 9:45 over 3/4 of the cakes had gone!

Overall, the whole morning was a total success going far better than we had anticipated. Most of the cakes gone, £287 up and that bit closer to our £4000 goal. Thank you Ashtead Station!
