140Sweets: Sugar, positivity, and philanthropy
I think this is the longest I’ve been silent on here in a while! I’ve got so much content to post and not enough time to get it all down. I just got back last Tuesday from a week in Costa Rica, so there’s some to share on that as well. First and most importantly though, I wanted to share a little information on a charity event I’m baking for tomorrow to benefit Autism Speaks. It’s called 140Sweets (formerly Cupcakes4Charity if you attended last year’s event). Last year’s event supported the American Cancer Society raising $1,100. It’s an organization founded by three of my good friends – Anna O’Brien, Joey Pasion, and Sarah Wingert.
This year’s event will be at Connolly’s Pub (121 West 45th Street – 3rd Floor, between 6th Avenue and Broadway) from 6-10 pm. No charge for entrance, just for the delicious baked goods donated by various bakers in the city. Rumored cupcake contributions include maple bacon, s’mores, cinnamon cream cheese, and PB&J (yours truly). There will also be drink specials, great music, and what promises to be a fun crowd. If you’re in the area, hope you’ll stop by at least for a bit to support this great cause and to say hello! Information on the event and for RSVPs, please visit http://140sweets.eventbrite.com/.
A little teaser of some of what’s in progress for you to enjoy…
