It’s Movember; season of the ‘tash. Throughout the world hundreds of thousands of men have forsaken the blade and are tolerating an itchy upper lip in order to raise awareness of and money to help fight prostate cancer.
The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days. The funds raised through Movember’s UK campaign benefit the The Prostate Cancer Charity, the UK’s leading prostate cancer charity.
The eggs, kindly provided by Castel Farm, have been pressed into duty to help with this tonsorial venture, through one of the more satisfying way to raise money; a cake sale. Given the testosterone-bound theme of this challenge these must be manly cakes, bristling with swagger and just a hint of Old Spice. The John Wayne of the cake domain; the rock cake.
