Rainbow Network cupcake decorating

On February 1st, the Northern Region Rainbow Network held a cupcake decorating event at the Royal Oak office to celebrate the first day of NZ’s pride month, which occurs every February. Staff members were invited to decorate cupcakes with a variety of rainbow-themed decorations including sprinkles, rainbow umbrellas and rainbow lollipops. They could then spend time together, read informational posters around the staff room about Pride, or donate to Rainbow Youth via a QR Code poster. It was a huge success, with a large turnout of staff members, all of whom enjoyed the yummy cupcakes supporting Pride!

Here are some photos of our wonderful (and tasty) creations.
