Dear Friends,
This year has been especially difficult for many, particularly those affected by Hurricane Helene. As we approach the holidays, our hearts are with the residents of Clyde who are still recovering. Many have lost their homes, jobs, and basic necessities, and are facing unimaginable challenges.
In response, we are re-launching our 52Cakes initiative, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to support the Clyde community. As someone who has helped rebuild homes in Clyde after previous hurricanes, I know how long and hard the recovery process can be. We aim to offer support and hope as the holiday season nears.
This holiday season, 52Cakes is entirely focused on raising funds for Clyde. Every week, we bake a unique cake or dessert, auction it off, and ensure every dollar raised goes where it’s needed most. Our goal is to brighten the holidays for families still struggling with uncertainty.
While 52Cakes typically supports various causes, this season, we are dedicating all efforts to Clyde’s recovery. If you’d like to support the cause but don’t want to bid, direct donations are also welcome.
How You Can Help:
- Join the auction: Each Thursday, we post our latest cake on social media (@52cakes and @farmtocake) and our website. Bidding is open until 5:00 PM, and the winning bidder will be notified for pickup on Friday morning.
- Make a donation: Every contribution counts. If you’d prefer to donate instead of bidding, your generosity will still directly support Clyde families in need.

With gratitude,
Debi

Our original 52Cakes:
We are overjoyed to be part of a community that thrives on helping one another, where lending a hand is a way of life. We receive numerous requests each week to contribute to various causes, and while we’d love to assist every time, it’s not always possible. That’s why we’ve embarked on our very own fundraising initiative: ’52 Cakes.’
Each week, we’ll craft a unique and delightful cake, focusing on either its style or flavor, or both. Then, we’ll auction off that delectable creation. Our commitment is to donate one cake per week, supporting 52 different non-profit organizations, initiatives, and projects right here in Haywood County. Every cent raised will be directed to the cause of the week, and the following week, we’ll select another deserving cause to support.
We want to express our heartfelt appreciation to the platform that manages the bids and collects the funds on our behalf. All the winning bidder needs to do is pick up the cake on Friday morning and savor every bite, knowing they’ve made a difference. If you are out of the area and still want to participate, should you win, we will be happy to help you donate even further by delivering your cake to an organization, business or group in the Waynesville area. Of course, we will be sure to let them know the gift came from you.
The cakes will be finished and posted in social media and here on our website every Thursday morning. You have until 5:00 PM to bid on the cake. The winning bidder will be notified and all they need to do is pickup the cake Friday!
We will list each week’s donation and the cake that earned it here every week.
Thank you immensely for your support of ’52 Cakes.’ Have a fantastic day!”
