Children hold a very special meaning to me. ALL children are important and seeing one hurting or in pain because of hunger breaks my heart in half. For the past few years I have had the extreme pleasure of participating in a Nationwide Great American Bake Sale that benefits the ending of childhood hunger!
Did you know that more than 16 million children go to bed hungry and go to school without breakfast. That’s ONE in FIVE who are without regular nutritious meals and are unable to thrive in school. This being America one of the richest nations in the world and our children are starving… I don’t know about any of you but One of any is too many for me.
This is not just any ordinary bake sale though, it is a Food Blogger Bake Sale where food bloggers all over the United States come together on one day in the whole entire year bake up some delicious out of this world goodies and sell them to friends, families, and friendly hungry faces all over. All of the amazing proceeds go to Share Our Strength, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to end childhood hunger.
This year the Central Florida Food Blogger Bake Sale is being organized by the lovely Julie, from The Little Kitchen and Katie, from Katie’s Cucina. These women are really making it happen in sunny Orlando and I am honored to be asked again to help. Of course we have to give great thanks to Gaby Dalkin, from What’s Gaby Cooking for beginning this amazing bake sale years ago.
This year’s bake sale is this Saturday, April 28th from 10am-1pm outside of the Winter Park Harvest Festival offices at 427 S. New York Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789.
There will be so many amazing tasty treats from cupcakes to cake pops, the list goes on and on and for all to eat plus some amazing raffles and giveaways. To see more of who and what are being donated check here.
Last year they raised over $1,300 in the bake sale and this year we are hoping to raise even more!!!!!
Now for the really really good part…
I am giving away a dozen delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes for the first who donates $100.
Of course for the cupcakes being local is the best option but for those who are not local I will give away one of my delicious dozen pack of Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies and I will ship them to you if $100 is donated as well.
So you see there are TWO different ways you can win yummy treats. I would truly love to raise as much as possible virtually because I know that coming in person to our bake sale may not be possible. If so you can donate through our fundraiser page
Help us reach our goal of $2,000 and that’s just here in Central Florida!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart… 🙂
Those cupcakes are adorable! Love the cookies on top!
I love that idea! Retweeting you for such a wonderful cause. How else are you guys advertising such events like this to help good causes?
