Cake Stall Cake Decorating Stall Adopt-A-Teddy Stall Our cake stall was a great success last year and all families of Turner School students are again invited to bake cakes, slices, biscuits, cupcakes, muffins etc. to be sold on the cake stall at this year s fete.

We are looking for any cake decorating donations. On the day, we are also looking for donations of plain cupcakes to decorate. Contact me!
