This month is Movember. During Movember, guys grow 'taches for money to raise funds for the Movember Foundation to address some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.
My work has a fundraising team, and I decided to help out by organising a Movember morning tea, entry by gold coin donation.
One of my contributions to the morning tea was Red Velvet Cupcakes, made from the Magnolia Bakery Red Velvet recipe. I halved the recipe to make 15 cupcakes:
To make my cupcakes Movember-fit, I adorned them with moustache faces. I iced the top of the cupcakes with vanilla buttercream (my usual Primrose Bakery recipe), then topped that with rounds of white fondant. I then made the 'taches from rolled black fondant:
We raised $62.40 for our Movember team, which is a good outcome as we only have a small office and a lot of people were away on the day.
