Auckland bakers are being called to roll up their sleeves to help vulnerable animals.

The SPCA is appealing for keen cooks to take part in its annual Cupcake Day fundraiser on November 2.

The event has raised nearly $3.2 million over the years, helping tens of thousands of animals that come through SPCA's doors each year in need of care, shelter and veterinary treatment.

Budding chefs are invited to whip up a batch of cupcakes before selling them at work, school and to family and friends.

Last year saw 1092 home bakers and 641 businesses get involved.

SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen said recent events had taken a big bite out of the charity but here was something tangible supporters could do to help.

Funds raised will be used to aid in rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing animals in need around the country.

If you’re on tank water, when did you last look inside your tank?

Australia has finalised a trans-Tasman bubble deal that will see Kiwis allowed to cross the ditch without having to quarantine on arrival into just two states at this stage, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.
At this stage the arrangement is one-way, with Australians not able to travel to New Zealand (thank goodness).
To those who are seriously considering this, be warned, upon return to New Zealand you will still need to have the appropriate managed isolation booking upon return, spend two weeks in managed isolation, and pay the fee which applies to anyone who left New Zealand after August 11.
