We are excited to announce that our famous fundraiser, The Edinburgh Cake Grab, is returning on Sunday 10th May at 1pm at Leonardo Murrayfield Hotel

Tickets will go on Friday 26th March with the concept being the same as last year – everyone brings along a bought/baked cake, everyone is giving 5 minutes and a pizza box to grab as many slices as they can, and then the afternoon is spent eating and connecting!

All funds raised will go towards our work tackling loneliness in older people across Edinburgh.  

Join us for an afternoon of cake, chatter and community as 100 local bakers share 100 homemade cakes all to tackle local loneliness in over 60s! Sunday 10th May at Leonardo Murrayfield Hotel

Enter The Cake Grab.

100 home bakers
100 homemade cakes
1 fabulous venue
1 afternoon of eating, connecting and fun

Join us on Sunday 10th May at the Leonardo Murrayfield Hotel, bring a homemade cake and an empty tummy!

Doors open – 12..30pm
Event Starts – 1pm
Events Ends – 3pm

Every attendee will be given a group number, and after we’ve all admired the cakes, each group will be given 5 minutes to grab as many cake slices as you can to put in a pizza box. Then? Well we spend the afternoon enjoying cake and eachother’s company!

Our VIP judges, members of Vintage Vibes Community, will award prizes for the most exciting and unusual cakes.

No cake left behind! Once time’s up, any remaining cake becomes a free-for-all—so pace yourself wisely!

Enjoy an afternoon of fun, games, connection and cake, all to tackle isolation in older people in Edinburgh!
