For $1.50 locals can enjoy a sweet treat of a pink-iced fun bun while knowing the funds are helping breast cancer sufferers enjoy life after their diagnosis.
Leanne Maslen, franchisee at the Bakers Delight Tamworth City Plaza store in Tamworth Square, said the store made about 240 buns a day for locals to gobble up.
"They're little round balls of goodness and because they are so pink and the stores look so pink, it's all very eye-catching and the kids love it," Mrs Maslen said.
"People really throw their support behind what we do because I think nearly everybody has a connection to a breast cancer survivor or somebody that they love that they've lost."

She said her favourite of the buns were the strawberry fondant covered ones with coconut, because it "tastes like coconut ice".
"They're all really yummy and it's really hard to pick which one's going to be the favourite each year," she told the Leader.
"We get our own special pink sprinkles made every year for it and they're so bright and the kids spot them straight away and of course the kids have got to have one so mum is obliged to buy it."
Locals can also purchase a pink lady silhouette for $1, simply donate in-store, or purchase a tote bag all-year round. $1 from these bags go the BCNA, too.
Mrs Maslen's store raises about $5000 each year when incorporating all of these elements.
