Calling all Bakers – the Cake Stall needs your help!
It wouldn’t be a SCEGGS Fair without the legendary cake stall. To make it a success we will call upon the whole of the school to contribute one type of baked cake/muffin/slices in the days leading to the fair.
Next week, each girl from Kindergarten to Year 12 will come home with one empty cake box to be filled with a delicious home baked treat. There will be a link in next week’s Behind the Green Gate to an online recipe guide, prepared by the Year 8 parents managing the Cake Stall. Be sure to check out the guide! Cakes may be delivered on the following days:
- Friday 19 August to the General Office between 7:30am and 5:00pm
- Saturday 20 August between 9:00am and 3.00pm to the Cake Stall (OG9)
- Fair day before 10.00am to the Cake Stall (OG9)
