The UK's leading end of life charity Marie Curie is calling on all budding bakers in Blackpool to sign up to its autumn baking fundraiser — and help raise some much-kneaded dough.

From hosting cake sales to running bake-off challenges and cupcake decorating competitions - every bake makes an amazing difference. Plus, Marie Curie has made raising funds for vital end of life care a piece of cake - when signing up, all participants will be sent a fundraising pack with a free Marie Curie daffodil cake stencil to make those bakes look even more impressive.

Bakers will also be provided with everything they need to help make their fundraiser a success - not only will they get a step-by-step guide to hosting a bake sale, but they'll even receive cake flags, posters, and a special recipe pack featuring autumnal recipes from celebrity bakers, to help inspire people in Blackpool to get creative in the kitchen.

Rachel fundraises in memory of her mother-in-law, Linda, with her husband Kevin and daughters Lilly and Ella. They've raised an incredible £8,000 through baking and other activities. Linda was cared for at the Marie Curie Hospice, Bradford, and loved to bake with her grandchildren.
