Kitchen Warehouse has signed on as the primary partner for the 2026 Bake A Wish campaign, raising money for Make-A-Wish Australia throughout August.
This year, Kitchen Warehouse and Block have given the initiative a new way to operate. Introducing the Bake A Wish Cupcake Kit. Available for $10 in all Kitchen Warehouse stores and online, with 100 per cent of proceeds going directly to Make-A-Wish Australia.
Each Bake A Wish Cupcake Kit contains 10 individual cupcake boxes, designed to be baked, boxed and given away, one by one, to friends, family, neighbours or colleagues.
Every box carries its own QR code, turning each kit sold into 10 extra invitations to donate, raising additional money for Make-A-Wish Australia and supporting its mission to grant wishes to children with critical illnesses.
Chief customer officer at Kitchen Warehouse, Simon Lamplough said: “We’re delighted to get behind such an important initiative. Most cause-related marketing ends with the person who buys a product. This idea is built to do the opposite. The cupcake boxes are our media channel and carry the fundraising ask further than any single piece of advertising could.”
“With a Bake A Wish Cupcake Kit, anyone can bake and package their own batch of cupcakes without the need for a formal bake sale. We simply ask you to buy a kit, bake and gift wherever it’s convenient, one cupcake at a time or en masse.” said Josh Mullens, head of (Eastern)Block.
“The Bake Sale Kit is such a wonderful and accessible way for our primary partner, Kitchen Warehouse, to help us extend our fundraising reach. We’re hopeful it will allow even more families to get involved and make an important difference to the critically ill children we support,” said Sally Bateman, CEO, Make-A-Wish.
The Bake Sale Kits are being promoted by cake decorating content creator and YouTube phenomenon, Tigga Mac. The campaign, featuring radio, online, print and point of sale, went live on 1st August.
