Great Legal Bake
The sweetest fundraiser of the year, the Great Legal Bake, returns from the 2 – 6 November 2026.
Calling all Star Bakers
Could you raise dough to support frontline free legal advice charities that help the people in our society that need it most?
Whether it’s blondies or brownies, millefeuilles or petits fours, Black Forest gateau or Swiss roll, millionaire’s shortbread or pound cake, taking part is easy as pie. And if sweet stuff doesn’t melt your butter why not make samosas, sausage rolls, or savoury scones?
All you need to do is register through the button below and we’ll send you a bake pack full of useful stuff like posters, labels and stickers. So grab a group of friends or colleagues and organise a bake sale in your office, chambers, court or university and sell your tasty treats.
Are you a crummy baker, but you’d still like to take part? Why not see if a local bakery might donate some cupcakes?
If you are not able to take part during the official bake week, you are still welcome to sign up to bake on a date of your choice. Just let us know on the sign up form below!
Celebrating Pro Bono Week
The Great Legal Bake is part of Pro Bono Week. There will be a photo competition during the week, judged by Toby Brown – Chair of the Pro Bono Week Committee and Barrister at South Square. Prizes will be awarded for:
- Best Themed Cake
- Tastiest Looking Cake
- Best Overall Cake
To enter, be sure to share your photos on social media using #GreatLegalBake, or send you photo entries to [email protected].
