Soho bakery Cox’s Cookies and Cake will be selling limited edition Elton cakes, to raise money for World Aids Day on 1 December.
Cox’s Cookies and Cake is the making of renowned shoe designer, Patrick Cox and London’s finest cake maker, Eric Lanlard. Their extravagant designs, capturing the spirit of Elton John are available in two flavours – Madagascan vanilla and triple Valrhona chocolate [French]. Each individual cupcake will be adorned with handmade glitter covered dark chocolate star-shaped glasses – very Elton! These cupcakes are a step towards raising awareness for the HIV/AIDS disease, which affects millions worldwide. £1.50 from each cup cake sold will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, one of the largest international AIDS charities.
Patrick Cox spoke of his fundraising venture saying: “ World AIDS Day is an issue close to the Soho gay community and it is vital that we continue to raise awareness for HIV/AIDS and to stop the spread of this disease. We are delighted to be working alongside the Elton John AIDS Foundation, supporting the charity’s invaluable fundraising, putting Cox Cookies & Cake’s stamp on the day with our deliciously moreish glam pop Elton John cup cakes! “
