Update: Eat My Blog Bake Sale
The Eat My Blog charity bake sale was such a success in so many ways and quantitatively, raised around $3,700 to go towards the LA Food Bank.
First of all, I cannot say enough great things about the organizer Cathy from GastronomyBlog. She had so much energy throughout the entire event, 6 hours on a Saturday PLUS set-up/clean-up.
That is quite the dedicated blogger to organize such an amazing event, and for its 3rd run, raising over $12,000 for the LA Food Bank from the bake sale events alone.
I was just excited to be a part of it, and be able to contribute. One of the challenges was individually wrapping mini cupcakes.. hmmm. So I decided to go all out and make them pretty fancy in tiny champagne glasses and pink PINK ribbon. I thought they turned out pretty cute!
All of the baked goods looked so appetizing I wasn’t quite sure which ones I would be taking home, and I strategically brought only $15 in cash so that I wouldn’t go too nuts.
I was pretty satisfied with the assortment of goodies I gathered, but one in particular was from DomesticDivas. They made a bacon brownie with bourbon caramel sauce. After I took one bite, and chewed into the strips of bacon, mmm… I ran back to snatch up another one before they were all gone. Not surprisingly, I bought up the last one!
Oddly enough, I was wearing two hats that day; a cupcake/blogger hat and a CBTL/Coffee Bean hat. CBTL single serve beverage systems were brewing up espresso, coffee and tea to wash down all of those sweet treats, a much needed pick-me-up between the 6 or something hours we were there.
Well go ahead and check out the photos from the event below, but if your mouth starts watering onto your computer, there’s nothing I can do.. you shoulda been there!
