3 ways you can Great Rainbow Bake
-
Sell your bakes
If you are able to, you can hold a traditional bake sale within your community, school or workplace. Alternatively, you can promote and sell your bakes from your doorstep, your garden or even by delivery, involving neighbours, friends, and anyone you know who might be isolating. Charge a small donation per bake, or ask people to donate to your JustGiving page.

Host a virtual bake
If you’ve rather go virtual and have become a dab hand at a zoom party, simply host a virtual bake party online with friends and family from all over the country, and even beyond. Set up a JustGiving page and then go live on social media or invite participants to a video call. Ask for donations to your page and hold competitions and games.

Simply bake and donate
Simply bake at home for yourself or with your family and then donate what you can to show your support. Whether it's mastering a new recipe, or perfecting one you already know, there's nothing like pulling a home-baked cake out of the oven!
When the world seems a bit crazy it’s a great way to relax and unwind.

"I’m supporting Rainbow Trust’s Great Rainbow Bake, so here are my top tips for rainbow baking:"
- For really vibrant colours use gel rather than liquid colouring – you don't need much for your colours to look fantastic.
- Try not to overbeat your cake mixture or you’ll end up with a tough rainbow!
- If time is tight, try making the sponges ahead of time, wrap them in clingfilm and freeze them. Take them out a few hours before you are ready to ice your cake.
