RSPCA’s Cupcake Day is in full swing as animal lovers across the country get baking to help raise funds to support our rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming efforts.
In 2025, the annual fundraiser is as flexible as ever: participants can hold their event any time throughout September – anytime, anywhere, and with any sweet or savoury treats they most enjoy.
RSPCA NSW has already been blown away by some amazing contributions from some of this year’s Cupcake Day hosts.
Earlier this month, Leonie Bedford spent an entire day baking and took her delicious goods to a stall at the Blacktown Drive-In markets.
Despite having over 50 sweet treats on offer, she sold out by 9:35am and raised an incredible $640 in the process.
Having recently lost two of her own beloved pets, Leonie felt it was a ‘no-brainer’ to combine two of her greatest passions for a cause she believed in.
“I’d really like to inspire others to do the same. My cousin originally sent me the link for the fundraiser, knowing full well that I love baking my banana breads, carrot cake, and mud cake loaves for family and friends, and am a real animal lover too,” Leonie said.
“So, combining the two was a ‘no-brainer’. I love a challenge and was determined to push myself to surpass my original goal of $352 – I knew I could do it!
“I’m thrilled to bits that all the loaves sold by 9:35 in the morning.”
Leonie might not be ready to put her talents to rest just yet. She is considering heading down on another Sunday this month to add to her already almighty contributions.
Like Leonie, you too could change animals’ lives by enjoying or baking your favourite treats. There’s still plenty of time to get involved in Cupcake Day.
