Registering as a Cake Angels volunteer will give you the opportunity to donate cakes to seriously ill children.
We have found that many people would like to do something that makes a difference but aren’t sure of the best way to go about it. Cake Angels gives our volunteers the opportunity to do something they love such as decorating cakes while at the same time making a difference in the life of a seriously ill child and their family. If this sounds like you and you’d like more info before signing up please read the FAQ,s below but if you still require information please contact us at kellie@cakeangels.org.au
Why We Need You
I make cakes as a hobby, can I still participate?
Yes! We welcome anyone with a passion for baking and making a difference.
Do you need to have a registered kitchen?
No, you don’t need to have a registered kitchen or be a registered business.
As you are giving the cake away and not selling it, it is no different to making a cake for your friends daughter for example. We do expect you to adhere to our policies and procedures which is listed on the Terms and Conditions when you register.
Do we need to deliver the cakes?
In most cases yes, you will need to deliver your cakes to the venue specified. If you know ahead of time that you will be unable to deliver your cake, please let us know so that we can try to make alternate arrangements.
Do we make the cakes at home or do we come to you to make the cakes?
Unless a specific event requires for cakes to me made/decorated onsite, all cakes are to be made at your home or business.
I’m in a regional area and would like to help if I can. Is there any call for cake decorators in these areas?
Although not as often as in major cities, there is definitely a need for volunteers in regional areas, we encourage as many regional volunteers as possible
I don’t decorate cakes, but I love to bake, am I able to help?
Yes! There are always opportunities to donate simple cakes, cupcakes or slices, especially at Christmas time when we support the Special children’s Christmas parties
I don’t decorate or bake, but would like to know if I can help in any way?
We are always on the lookout for people who are able to give their time or share their skills, from helping out administratively to manning a stand at a Cake show.
What if I volunteer to make a cake and then have to cancel at the last minute due to unforseen illness or circumstances?
We understand that emergencies and unforseen events occur. Please contact us as soon as you can so that we can try to make alternate arrangements.
Can I share a picture of my cake on my social media pages?
Yes of course! We just ask that you tag Cake Angels in your description, and adhere to the confidentiality policy.
Are there any restrictions on ingredients I am able to use?
All donated goods MUST be nut free. If any other dietary restrictions are needed for a specific donation, we will advise. Also No fresh cream is to be used unless made into ganache.
