The cakes are sold by volunteers and have become a tradition not just for their taste but for warming the heart.
Perfected over the years, the traditional Lions Australia Christmas cake recipe is packed with high quality ingredients and 50 per cent fruit but there's one magic ingredient in this cake that sets it apart from the rest.
With all proceeds going back to Lions Clubs and initiatives across the country, the cakes help fund a range of vital projects in the community.
Christmas cakes and puddings are Lions Australia's largest annual fundraiser.
Since the first one-pound cake was introduced in 1965 the fundraiser has raised over $60 million to help drive community programs and projects across Australia.
For 35 years Top Taste Bakery has produced cakes for Lions Australia and baked their last in 2020. Lions has since partnered with Traditional Foods.
In addition to disaster relief Lions Clubs drive a range of community service projects and initiatives ranging from youth programs, medical research and aid to people with disability and environmental work.
Lions Cakes will available locally at Lanham Motors, Broso's Farmland Supplies, Beyond Bank and Leeton Steel.
If there is any businesses in Leeton who are willing to support Lions can they contact the secretary on email; colloslot07@bigpond.com
