Ahead of the bake sale, owner Yuriy Kachak said he felt "helpless" as news of the Russian invasion unfolded and decided to use his skills to do what he can to help people affected in his home country of Ukraine.
The bake sale was a huge success with people queuing for hours to buy and donate. A Just Giving page was set up to continue the fundraising and, as of yesterday, had raised over £30,000.
But now the total is £73,000 thanks to an anonymous donor.
