Desserts 4 Difference

Overview

Some of the world's best pastry chefs have joined forces with the Australian Red Cross to launch Desserts 4 Difference: a global bake sale raising money for Australia's bushfire relief. Fundraising events will pop-up around the globe on Saturday, February 8 — and Sydney's will be hosted at Gelato Messina's Rosebery HQ.

Pastry chefs from across the city will come together to bake sweet and savoury desserts just for the day — including Yves Scherrer (from Clovelly's newly opened Madame & Yves) and Andy Bowdy (from Saga and Saga Lyte). Plus, Gelato Messina, Textbook Patisserie, Port Macquarie's Urban Grain Bakery and Stix catering will all involved, with more to be announced in the lead up, too.

The event will run from 10am–3pm (or until sold out) and 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward the Australian Red Cross.

Textbook Patisserie

A whole heap of other Sydney businesses are hosting Desserts 4 Difference fundraisers, too, including Pepe Saya, all 12 Bourke Street Bakery stores and Filipino dessert truck Mix Mix Co — which will set up shop at The Rocks' Saturday market from 10am–9pm. The full list of events and participating pastry chefs can be found on the fundraiser website and Instagram.

If you miss out on February 8, you can also donate directly via the Desserts 4 Difference website.
