This sponsored discussion is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Baking can be a fun way to challenge yourself, spend time with your children, and impress everyone at the birthday party. But baking could also be an inspired way to support a worthy cause.

As an Official Sponsor of this year’s Macmillan Coffee Morning, Betty Crocker is inviting you to rise to the occasion and whip up some support for Macmillan’s campaign to help people living with cancer. Regardless of your baking skills, Betty Crocker could help you whip up beautiful and delicious cakes*. That’s why, Betty Crocker would love you to share a picture of the bakes that you’ve made with your family in support of <a class="break-all" href="https://coffee.macmillan.org.uk/?utm_source=www.mumsnet.com/&utm_medium=partner%20&utm_campaign=b_c_partner_wbcm_signup&utm_content=b_c_mumsnet_sponsoreddiscussion" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Macmillan’s Coffee Morning.

Here’s what Betty Crocker has to say: “This year, Betty Crocker and Macmillan Cancer Support have joined forces to encourage the nation to do whatever it takes to get involved with Macmillan Coffee Morning 2020.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Macmillan needs your support now more than ever to enable to them to continue to provide vital support for people living with and affected by cancer in the UK. Betty Crocker is an Official Sponsor of Macmillan’s Coffee Morning happening this September and you can help too.

The official date for Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is Friday 25 September, but you can take part whenever suits you best.

Whether you prefer to keep it simple and use a Betty Crocker cake mix, follow an old family recipe passed down through the generations or use the cake ideas in the <a class="break-all" href="https://coffee.macmillan.org.uk/?utm_source=www.mumsnet.com/&utm_medium=partner%20&utm_campaign=b_c_partner_wbcm_signup&utm_content=b_c_mumsnet_sponsoreddiscussion" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Macmillan Coffee Morning fundraising kit, take a picture of the cake or bake that you have made with your family and post it on this thread.

My 5 year old helped make "Monkey" themed cakes. Not as easy as you think with a hyperactive 5year old, the cake mix and icing mix was down the cupboards and everywhere at the end Hmm

I absolutely love baking with my eldest. He loves to get stuck in and if I preweigh everything out it means he can take control and do more on his own.
Current favourite is iced buns! Although he definitely enjoys the eating more
