I'm hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast for the ten women diagnosed with breast cancer each day in New Zealand.

It is time to bring back the Cherry Blossom Cakes Pink Ribbon Breakfasts!
Very popular pre-kids and covid.
I will be hosting a pink ribbon Brunch on Sunday 24th May. Pop in any time between 9.30-12.30pm and enjoy our famous brunch menu.
2026 Pink Ribbon Breakfast Menu
Strawberry Smoothie (by Lucia) (GF and DF)
Raspberry Chia Pudding, topped with coconut yogurt (GF and DF)
Buttermilk Pancakes topped with Cream Cheese and Smoked Salmon
Homemade Seed Toasts with smashed Avocado (DF and GF)
Melissa’s Baked Beans and Zamora Meat Balls (kindly donated) (GF and DF)
A selection of Stir teas and a special pink iced tea (kindly donated by Michelle from Stir Tea) and Ground Hogg Plunger Coffee (kindly donated by Ground Hogg Coffee grinders).
Of course finished with cupcakes
- French Toast Cupcakes (bacon and maple)
- Strawberry Cheese Cake Cupcakes
We will run the breakfast from 9.30am - 12.30pm, so you can pop in for breakfast or brunch!
The minimum donation to attend the breakfast is $40 (it is all donated).
Please RSVP by email (melissa@cherryblossomcakes.co.nz, Facebook or by making your donation directly to my fundraising page: https://fundraise.bcf.org.nz/fundraisers/cherryblossomcakes2026 (please make sure to pop your name in the message part of the donation so I know who you are!).
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Kiwi women. 1 in 10 women will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. And 650 women in Aotearoa die from the disease every year.
Please donate to raise funds for life-saving education, life-changing patient support and ground-breaking medical research. And bring us closer to a day when there are zero deaths from breast cancer.
