It’s finally here - National Cupcake Week kicks off today, in what will be a week-long celebration of all things cupcake.

The purpose of the Week is to drive sales of these sweet treats by bringing them to the forefront of consumers’ minds, while raising vital funds for our partner charity CLIC Sargent.

CLIC Sargent offers support and advice for children and young people with cancer, and their families.
