OAKDENE: The Glen Shopping Centre hosted Cupcakes4kidswithcancer on Saturday September 28 and it was a huge success.
From first thing in the morning community members and bakers brought cupcakes which they had baked and decorated themselves to donate to Cupcakes4kidswithcancer project.
“The response has been amazing and just look at the huge variety of decorated cupcakes we have received. It’s fantastic,” said one of the organisers.
There were Hello Kitty cupcakes, lambs, Winnie The Pooh, Glenny (donated by The Glen), ladybirds, lions, butterflies, Spongebob Squarepants, in fact there were so many to choose from it took a while to make a decision!

Husband and wife Dheshan and Prema Naran will represent the Southern Courier in the Caxton Reynolds Race 2013
DANE van Tonder (22) and Ashleigh Schnetler (22) from Brircleigh North have been selected to represent the Kempton Express in the Caxton Reynolds Race.
The Caxton Reynolds Race is about to kick off and Marisa (38) and Dennis Williams (39) will represent the Springs Advertiser in this challenge.
Karen and Kirsty Heath (mother and daughter) will represent the Boksburg Advertiser. Their motivation for entering the competition: “Because we are fun and adventurous. We want to show that having cancer or a baby does not mean your life is over. We also want this time together as mother and daughter.”
They are adventurous, fun-loving and interested in history and with their bubbly, enthusiastic personalities they are the perfect team. Louise (30) and Hennie (36) Bingle from Hazeldene were the lucky team chosen to represent the Germiston City News in the Caxton Reynolds Race.
Father and Son Dean and Clayton Passmore will represent the Comaro Chronicle in the Caxton Reynolds Race 2013.
We have received so many interesting and creative entries for the Caxton Reynolds Race 2013. Unfortunately we could only choose one team to represent our local newspapers, but here are all the chosen teams and all the other teams who entered. The pair to represent the Brakpan Herald in the Caxton Reynolds Race 2013 is a very energetic and determined mother and daughter team from Dalview, Arauna (47) and Bianca (19) Bezuidenhout.
As children stood choosing their cupcake, adults too joined in the fun and some bought a dozen or more in aid of this marvellous project.
“We are having friends over for dinner, so what a perfect dessert,” said one woman. Another said, “This is a wonderful project and I can’t think of a better gift than buying six or more cupcakes. This way you are giving two gifts.”
As the women who donated their time to assist at the cake tables, said, “It’s great and the South has come to the party yet again! Thanks to all of you who have made cupcakes for this wonderful cause.”
All the money raised from the sale of the cupcakes will help give a child a fighting chance against cancer.
