Does anyone think this may be a good idea? I dont have a lot of money to donate but i have some but thought it may be a good idea to do a bake sale and donate the money made?
Any thoughts? Suggestions? And who would i need to contact?

Before you embark on it - do your sums. I have found in the past that you do not really make more money with baking than with simply donating the money you would spend on the ingredients (plus electricity/gas for the baking) - even if you do not take into account your time.
On the plus side people may donate in addition to buy in this case - so getting out there might be a bonus in itself.
Might also pay to check what sort of papers you need to display to make sure people do not feel you take advantage of the situation - as there are already scammers doing the rounds and taking the money for themselves under the disguise of helping ChCh.

i was going to get in touch with the red cross or salvation army and i have donated what i can but to make cupcakes it only costs say $4 for 12 and could sell for $2 each so really looking at how to get as much money to those who need it.

Why would you need to conatct the council?. School fundraisers, fairs etc do not need council permission. Just do a bring and buy bake sale, like the schools do.
Do you have kids at school?

Not sure where you live - but up here one needs council permission to have a stall - of any kind. You can't just go somewhere and put a table up. They will soon move you along. Other option is in front of a supermarket or warehouse - then you need the permission of them of course.
