IT’S time to dig out your cake tins for the biggest-ever Great Dorset Bake Sale in aid of Dorset-based charity Diverse Abilities Plus.

The charity is encouraging the whole of the county to get involved in the week long-event from Monday, May 6, to Sunday, May 12, with bake sales and coffee mornings.

Following on from the success of last year’s event, which raised nearly £5,000, it hopes to raise even more vital funds for the charity’s work supporting the area’s children and adults with physical and learning disabilities.

Beccy Payne, corporate and community fundraiser at Diverse Abilities Plus, said: “Over the past two years, The Great Dorset Bake Sale initiative has raised over £8,000 and we are hoping that the 2014 event will beat this! We are aiming to get over 100 bake sales taking place in Dorset and hope the community gets on board for a very worthy cause.”

Everyone that signs up will receive a fundraising pack with bake sale tips, cake recipes to choose from and how to make your Great Dorset Bake Sale event a success.

There will also be a chance to win two tickets to the Great British Bake Off’s star Paul Hollywood’s Get Your Bake on Tour in Bournemouth, which will see Paul demonstrate recipes, reveal secrets of being a TV chef and take the audience on a journey through his life in baking.
