On today's show we're counting down to Children In Need.

X Factor Stacey Solomon is baking a difference for our appeal. I help

out at a local bake centre in Manchester. Hello, today's show is

all about Children In Need, and our Bake A Difference appeal. Over the

last few weeks we have been asking you to hold bake sales up and down

the country. Children In Need is happening November 18. If you're

watching there's still time to organise a bake sale. Drop us an e-

mail. Drop us an e-mail now we might mention you on the TV.

have been so impressed by our appeal over the weeks. Chocolate

Brownies, banana buns, gingerbread, and orange crunch biscuits.

Blueberry muffins. To name a few. We know loads of you have been busy.

We appreciate your hard work. We could only invite one group. In

they have no idea. We'll be turning our cameras as in the ones you're

Children In Need are funding a charity called the Butterfly Trust.

They provide Joy with a befriender and it takes her mind off her

illness. Your bake sales are funding all

kinds of projects like these helping children all over the UK

who're living with a life limiting illness.

Some illnesses don't always show on Still be painful. Arthritis is

something that usually makes us think of old people, but Molly

began feel pg stiff in her joints when she was just eight years old.

There are parts of my body that really hurt, they're my fingers, my

ankles, my toes, my wrists. Although writing and typing can be

painful, she's now able to be in touch with children with the same

condition. That's all thanks to an activity

weekend organised by the children's chronic arthritis association, a

charity funded by Children In Need. You two are good mates now aren't

you, you met through this event? Yes, we e-mail each other every

week to say how are you doing. I was going to have joint

injections, Molly had them before so she knew what it was like.

some children, their illness means having treatment in hospital to

help them get better again. Sapphire is 12 and was diagnosed

with cancer just under a year ago. She's had several courses of

chemotherapy, a treatment designed to kill cancer cells or stop them

dividing. Chemotherapy is designed to make you get better but you have

to get worse first don't you. Do You don't like getting sick and

don't feel like doing it sometimes. Eight-year-old Charlie has been

having treatment for cancer too. He was diagnosed with a large tumour.

It took nine hours to remove it. They do the chemotherapy that goes

in there, and tries to clear it all up. And if not they have to do an

operation. To make time on the ward better for children, Children In

Need are funding a charity to get creative on a ward. It gives the

children a chance to learn how to make a ring tune, or even learn how

to make a song! It's one of my most favourite things to do whether I'm

bored. If you decide to run a bake sale, the money you raise will go

towards lots of projects like these, that help children, like Luke, Joy,

Molly, Saphifre and Charlie. Hasn't he got the best smile in the world.

Never mind smiling, his boxing was better than Luke. Fastest

wheelchair in the West. We invited a group along to have a look from

the BBC - from the BBC in Salford Quays. To say thank you for a bake

sale. This is them arriving. What they don't know, we're actually

going to surprise them by inviting them on to Blue Peter live in the

show. They'll go into an office and watch Blue Peter on the screen, and

we'll spin the cameras on them?! don't know why we're doing it... It

will - it could go horribly wrong... There's plenty of time for you to

get involved and raise money for Children In Need. 18th November

that's the deadline. If you need help. Gary Lineker has shown you

how to make carrot cake, and Alesha has shown you biscuits. And Stacey

Solomon will show you how to make cup cakes. I'm Stacey Solomon and

today I'll show you how to make today I'll show you how to make

something really really easy. I'll be making cup cakes! There's so

many ways to create different styles. Today I'll show you three

different ways to decorate them using butter cream. It's so easy to

make, you just need butter, Caster sugar, two eggs, flour and milk.

All the measurements will be on the Blue Peter website. Once you have

stirred it for a couple of minutes, you should have something looking

like this. You spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases. This is my

favourite bit. Once you have filled all the cases, get an adult to help

you put it in the oven. While the cakes are in the oven it's the

perfect time to make the butter cream. All you need is icing sugar

and butter. Once you have creamed the butter, add the icing sugar bit

by bit. It will be very messy! I've decided to add colour. I'm going

for pink. You can add any colour or flavour. After 20 minutes your

cakes should look like this. Make sure you leave them time to cool.

I'll show you my three favourite decoration ideas. Get some of the

pink butter cream, put it into a piping bag, and make a lovely swirl

all around. Then, add a few spinkles, and a little Cher cherry

on top. A piece of cake. Second is one of the favourites -

get a nice lump of icing, put it on the top and smooth it around.

Doesn't have to be neat or perfect or anything. Cover the whole cake.

Here's the fun bit - whack it into sprinkles. That's my favourite one!

Lastly, find an adult helper to help you cut out a circle. Pull it

out. Fill the whole with a very generous A icing. The more the

merrier. And then cut the little piece you took out in half. And

there you have a butterfly cake. there you have a butterfly cake.

These are easy and simple to make. All the constructions are on the

Blue Peter website. Gook luck to you and hope you raise loads of

money! That's my kind of baking, when she got the bun and dunked

into the sprinkles. Whack it in the sprinkles, a technical term. I

don't like the baking, I like the decorating. I like the eating.

Loads you of have been holding bake sales. Isobel got in touch - a

Hallowe'en bake sale - six pink star muffins, and ten green mini

Muffins, and they'll like to thank their neighbours. And 11-year-old

Sophie held a back sale with Molly and Lucy near Oxford. They baked a

total of 95 cakes and biscuits, and managed to raise a total of �38.46.

The cakes were delicious. They like the eating! Six-year-old Katie held

a cake sale and raised �227. Look at that pile of cakes! Lots of

people joined in baking, and together they baked and sold 418

items. Her granddad made six loafs of bread! And Annie Jessica and

Rose had a wonderful time. They made �69 - �69. And had some left

over and gave it to the old people's home nearby. I helped some

children in Manchester. These children in Manchester are getting

ready to hold a bake sale by decorating Pudsey biscuits to sell.

I'm here to help them. They don't I'm here to help them. They don't

know that. Hello everyone. We have got all our biscuits decorated.

Let's count how many we have got. One, two, three... 25 on this table.

52. That's good! Children In Need is this Friday and it's not too

late for you to get involved. The money we raise will fund projects

that help children living with chronic or life limiting illnesses

in the UK. We have everything we want to sell but nowhere to sell

Pudsey is broken into lots of pieces. Still �1 for a box. You get

There you go. It's that easy to hold your own bake sale. If this

has inspired you, hold a sale and raise loads of money, we haven't

counted it yet. Excuse me me! I thought you were going to get into

an argument. I'm going to eat it! an argument. I'm going to eat it!

We sold every last one. All those cakes in 20 minutes. Good fun.

Loved it. Jackie Katie and Tom told us they put up loads of posters,

and they made �81. And they recommend selling chocolate

brownies. Look for your name on the bottom of the screen. Somebody who

had their sale... They raised over �100. Thank you very much. After

seeing our appeal six-year-old Benedict baked 36 fairy cakes, and

sold them and raised money. Thank you so much everyone for getting

involved. We mentioned earlier about a special group from Stafford.

They got in touch and said they would bake 52. They're sat in our

production office. You're live on Blue Peter. Thank you so much. We

were nervous about how they would react. That's what we wanted.

have been keeping a secret from you, for the past hour. You thought you

welcome for Daniel, Lila, Jessica, Molly, Matthew, Scarlet Hannah

Beth... Welcome to the show! Sit on the step! You did not expect this.

You held a bake sale. What sold best? Brownies. Did you have a lot

of fun? Yeah. Are you shocked to be here. Yeah. You're shaking. You'll

be all right. We'll do the totaliser. Thank you for all you

have done. I don't think we could have asked for a better reaction.

Screaming was brilliant. Pudsey thank you very much. Make yourself

Now that's incredible. Thank you so, so, much for all your hard work. We

know you have been busy up and down the country holding sales. Did you

any idea we would get you on to the set? No! Are you glad you game in

Yeah. What do you think of the studio. Really great. Why did you

think you're coming in? To have a tour. You got a little bit more.

Thank you for your efforts. Daniel, let's talk about how much money you

raised? Do you know? You can say a lot! It was �138. That's

incredible! Dave, come on in, mate. A round of applause for Dave. Can

you tell us what you did. The kids had the idea of baking the cakes,

and one of the parents was involved in getting them doing it. You made

cakes last week and did more yesterday. They have been doing the

fundraising, and getting stuck in. Sending them after church on a

Sunday, and the congregation has been involved. Barney and I say

it's fun, fun, you have a few days left to get involved. Would you

guys recommend holding a bake sale? Yeah! Everybody who has got

involved, you have made a massive difference, �58,395 is an

incredible number. To think we only started a few weeks ago. Do you

want to sing a song before you go? No! Thank you so much. Pudsey,

remember everybody to tune into Children In Need on this Friday and

tune in tomorrow. We have a cracker. Check this out. Matt Cardle

previous winner of X Factor will be here tomorrow, talking about

himself, and what he has been up, he has a brand new single out, and

he will tell us about this year's contestants. He has met loads of
