Becoming a Cupcake Angel is easy, all for a good cause with Cupcakes of Hope

Pulane Nel-Sekepe speaks with Sandy Cipriano, founder of Cupcakes of Hope. On Saturday, 26 September 2026, thousands of South Africans will once again become ‘Cupcake Angels’ by baking and sharing cupcakes to help children with cancer and their families. National Cupcake Day will be celebrated at more than 80 shopping centers across the country, with schools, workplaces and communities also joining the movement. Becoming a Cupcake Angel is easy. Register online, choose a participating shopping centre and pledge to bake just 24 cupcakes. Not a baker? You can still make a difference by supporting your local Cupcake Angel stall and sharing #BakeADifference with your friends and family.
