HARRY GOW customers will soon be able to sink their teeth into a special sumptuous cupcake all in
the name of charity.
The Highland-based baker is working alongside Inverness Rotary Club’s charity - Polio Plus
- which works to eradicate polio worldwide.
Shoppers to any one of Harry Gow’s bakery shops can purchase the limited edition vanilla cupcakes, decorated with white icing and a distinctive purple flower, throughout November.
The bakery will donate 100% of all proceeds from the sale of the cupcakes to Polio Plus.
Managing director, David Gow, said: “We are pleased to be able to support Inverness Rotary Club with their charity work particularly as polio is such a horrible and aggressive disease.
“We would like to encourage our loyal customers to pick up one of these special cupcakes, distinctly recognised by the purple flower.”
Alan Nelson, senior vice-president of Inverness Rotary Club, which celebrates its centenary next June, explained how the collaboration between the club and the bakery came about.
He said: “Inverness Rotary Club approached Harry Gow Bakery to help with this year’s fundraising effort and we were delighted when they agreed to support us.
“Gow's is a company always ready to support a worthwhile cause and we can't thank them enough.”
The cupcakes go on sale from November 1 and will be available until the end of the month in all Harry Gow Bakery shops.
