purple cakesWe like cake. We like high tea.  We like kids get­ting edu­ca­tion. And we like the colour pur­ple, Whoopi Gold­berg not with­stand­ing. So we’re def­i­nite­ly keen on Pur­ple Cake Day this Sun­day March 10.

“Cel­e­brate Pur­ple Cake Day with High Tea at the Coro­na­tion Café. Come along to one of our four sit­tings for a mar­vel­lous selec­tion of yum­my Roy­al Wind­sor jel­ly scapes, crown jew­elled sweets, club sand­wich­es with a twist and more. Pur­ple Cake Day is a char­i­ty event that sup­ports chil­dren in devel­op­ing coun­tries to get the edu­ca­tion they need to change their lives. This year they will sup­port kids in Haiti, Nepal, and Kenya.”

With bak­ing an assort­ment of places around town, this looks deli­cious and fun. Also, as an added bonus, the Coro­na­tion Cafe inside the Muse­um of Welling­ton City & Sea is nice and spa­cious, so you will not have the pan­icked wor­ry about break­ing some­thing trips to high tea at Martha’s Pantry can bring.
