Welcome to the Tree Cakes Blog…

As a Volunteer for TREE AID I blog about 'Tree Cakes' - Cakes made from tree ingredients such as nuts, fruit and chocolate. Following on from TREE AID'S Cake Taste Fundraising initiative I use this blog to share recipes and pictures of tree cakes whilst raising awareness about the importance of trees for people living in Africa's drylands.

We want your recipes...

So this week TREE AID are asking you for your tree cake recipes. We would love to try your favorite cake recipe or your experiments with tree ingredients. I have been defining tree ingredient as anything that comes from a tree, be it fruit, nut, seed or bark.

In the TREE AID office the fundraising team have a book club every fortnight. The team comes together to read about fundraising and to discuss and reflect on the fundraising initiatives and techniques used within the charity. As part of this a member of the team volunteers to bake a cake using tree ingredients. So send us your recipes and we'll have a go at baking them and I'll let everyone know how its going on the blog.

I only volunteer in the office one day a week, so will only receive your emails and recipes then, but I am very much looking forward to seeing what scrumptious cakes your going to suggest!

Please send your recipes to treeaidvolunteer@treeaid.org.uk

  1. Have to say this isn't my favourite cake by any means, but it was interesting and uses two tree ingredients - lucuma and chocolate.
