Monday 16th of August is Australia's RSPCA Cupcake Day. Lots of people get involved and it is a great fund-raiser for the well known animal charity. This year I sold chocolate mint cupcakes at work, and raised $105, it was a big success. I had help with baking and decorating from my beautiful friend Elise, it's so much more fun to bake cupcakes with a friend!
The idea for the round cat and dog faces was inspired by the wonderful Lindsay from Coco Cake Cupcakes, her cute animal cupcakes never fail to make me smile!
