Iconic Lions cakes return

Lions Christmas cakes are back, just in time for the lead-up to Christmas.

Lions Christmas cakes and puddings are sold by locals for locals. They’re staples of Australian Christmas time with their excellent taste, thanks to their quality, natural ingredients list, containing over 50 per cent fruit.

All the funds received from purchases of the cakes and puddings are redirected to Lions Clubs and their initiatives Australia-wide, from the city to the regions.

The past several years have been extremely tough for regional communities, with a tumultuous global pandemic and devastating natural disasters.

As most of the country heads into bushfire season again, proceeds from Lions Christmas cakes and puddings are vital to funding emergency and disaster relief and assisting locals with recovering from bushfires.

Lions Australia chief executive Rob Oerlemans said the proceeds go to really important causes.

“In the past 60 years, we’ve come a long way from selling our first pound cake. Today, our Lions Christmas cakes and puddings remain proudly Australian-made, and their impact on communities nationwide is immeasurable,” he said.

This year, new gluten-free versions are also being produced and sold.
