A total of €3,124 was raised in aid of Puttinu Cares from donations made by people visiting Arkadia commercial centre, Victoria, on Easter Saturday.
As a token of appreciation they were given a slice of a huge Easter pie measuring eight by four feet prepared by David Mercieca of David’s Bakery, and his sons Manuel and Mark.
The pie’s ingredients included 100kg of pastry, 120kg of pure almonds, and five kilos of Easter eggs. It took 20 hours and cost €800 to make.
The activity was organised on the initiative of Arkadia Marketing Ltd.
