The intimation was that surfers love to fuel up on crabs such as pies, sausage rolls, buns, biscuits and rolls. Now a bakery in Torquay that is a hit with the local surfers has decided to help out our friends in Queensland who have been devastated by floods and now a cyclone. Faith Davis who run Point Bake (next door to Barrie Sutherland’s Watermarks Gallery ) has been selling cupcakes with $1.50 from each one going towards the Queensland Flood Appeal. Many a local has popped in for a post-surf pie only to see the sign and then changed their mind to scarf down a cup cake or two. Thanks everyone!
So far Faith and her team have rased over $600 – that’s a lot of cupcakes.
As surfers we should be supporting businesses like Point Bake who give back to the community. So please encourage your local barkery or café to do something similar – and feel welcome to send me a photo and I’ll post it up on surfsista!
