Bakes for Venezuela

My heart is broken watching my home country, Venezuela, suffer after the devastating double earthquakes.

Being so far away in Australia, it is easy to feel helpless and frustrated. But instead of staying in that place, I have decided to do something positive and meaningful - even if just on a small scale.

For the next 7 days, Margot & Montañez will be baking limited Bakes for Venezuela dessert boxes to raise urgent funds for earthquake relief.

Each box includes a handmade selection of Latin desserts inspired by the flavours of home; comforting, nostalgic and made with care.

100% of the revenue from every box will be donated to UNICEF Australia, an authorised organisation supporting relief efforts for people affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela. Ingredients, labour and packaging are being donated by Margot & Montañez.

Once the campaign closes, we will share the total raised and proof of donation with our community.

What’s included

Each box includes a selection of up to 6 handcrafted Latin desserts, inspired by the comforting flavours of home.

The initial line-up may include:

• Dulce de Leche Alfajor - our signature melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookie, filled with dulce de leche and finished with a touch of chocolate.
• Mini Samba - a nostalgic Venezuelan-inspired treat with soft strawberry buttercream and chocolate.
• Papitas de Leche - sweet Venezuelan milk truffles, soft, delicate and finished with a hint of clove.
• Cocada - golden toasted coconut drops, chewy, fragrant and full of tropical sweetness.
• Polvorosa - a delicate Latin shortbread with vanilla and cinnamon, crumbly, buttery and comforting.
• Dulce de Leche Popcorn - crisp popcorn coated with dulce de leche and finished with sea salt for a sweet-salty crunch.
• Brigadeiro - a rich Brazilian chocolate truffle made with condensed milk, cocoa and sprinkles.
• Marquesa de Chocolate - a beloved Venezuelan dessert, layered with biscuits and silky chocolate cream.

Dessert selection may vary slightly depending on ingredient availability. Every box will be made with the same care, generosity and love.
