Title: Fabulous chocolate cake auction for "Find a Cure for Martha"
Post by: Lisa Oldham on February 26, 2009, 02:32:43 PM
My friend Trudi has made THE most amazing chocolate cake.  If you've ever visited "Toast" then its likely you will have tasted one of her creations already!
She now wants to auction it off to the highest bidder to raise a bit of money for the Find a Cure for Martha Campaign.  So would any one like to make a bid ?   Its a 6 inch cake but measures 8 inches after all the chocolate!!!

Please send bids to me lisa.oldham@hotmail.co.uk highest bidder by end of Thursday wins... Delivery on Friday
If its a Big bid shes going to throw in some extra home made "stuff" too !!! 

Have sent the pic to Mark so hopefully he will load it up later and make the chocoholics drool

Here's the first picture, I understand there may be a better one on the way but this looks pretty good to me! I'm not certain if Lisa means that bidding ends tonight or next Thursday but hopefully she will clarify.

We now have a better photo of the cake and you can see some of the fine detail. Try not to dribble on your screen! The auction is now featured on the home page of the main site linking to here, so hopefully lots of people will see it and those bids will keep coming in to Lisa before next Thursday's deadline.
