The Cake Sale was a collective of mostly Irish musical artists, with Swedish singer-songwriter Nina Persson of the Cardigans and Australian musician Nick Seymour of Crowded House.

The collective was formed in 2006 by Brian Crosby, formerly of Bell X1. The group released a self-titled album that year, with sales proceeds going to Oxfam Ireland's Make Trade Fair campaign. The record's success in Ireland led to an international release the following year, coming out on 10 September 2007 in the UK and on 16 October 2007 in the US, where it was published by Yep Roc Records.
