Attention Angelenos! Please help us raise money to feed the hungry of Los Angeles by coming to the Eat My Blog Bakesale this weekend. Last fall, more than 70 bloggers baked up our best gourmet goodies and raised over $3,700 for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank (in the past three bakesales, we’ve raised $12,000+ to feed the hungry!).
We’re at it again on Saturday, December 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be held in Old Town Pasadena at Pita Jungle, 43 E. Colorado Boulevard. It’s right smack in the middle of the shopping district, which means you can get your holiday shopping done and then treat yourself to some goodies. Maybe even buy up some freshly-made, locally produced goodies and give them as gifts–that’s even better. Beats giving your money to the big chain stores, right?!
I’m making bubblegum marshmallows and baking lemon-lavender madeleines to sell. Several dozen other bakers and candy makers will be contributing their best stuff. All items are priced between $1 and $4, so this is not a budget smasher. Just a great way to sample an array of seriously good treats while helping a worthy cause.
Madeleine, anyone?
And consider this: The Los Angeles Regional Foodbank says that every dollar it receives can actually supply $5 of food for the hungry. That means our last donation of $3,700 provided $18,500 worth of food! Imagine how much more we can give if everyone comes out for some goodies. Not to mention that the more people who buy our treats, the more we can spread those calories around, which means less time at the gym… (hey, ya gotta work those angles, right?!)

Thanks, and bon appetit!
Thank you for lending your talents to the bake sale, Carol! Your marshmallows are always a hit 🙂
