vendita do torte/bake sale
Were you on Twitter today? Did you notice a trend in tweets? Yup....today was all about Bake Sales going on across the country. That included Atlanta, which held a fabulous Bake Sale at
Tami organized a spectacular event! Lisa's place, the Cabbagetown Market, was the perfect space with the little grassy alley right next door. Insert a couple of tent and several tables, signage, and... voila.
The sale had a really steady flow of passers by, foodies, and friends. And, at times....we were packed!
as visitors were provided with plenty of options, great for any sweet tooth.
My favorite customer of the day? Ella! She was enjoying her day with her dad, dressed in her lovely pink dress, found my cupcakes and became affixed to the table. Steadfast in her wants, Ella would not leave until she had cuppies in her lil' hands.
Overall, this was a tremendous day that proved rewarding in so many ways. For me, it was great to get out and forget about personal stresses for a day. I love, love the Cabbagetown area with all its uniqueness. And, let me not forget to mention the fabulous opportunity it was to hang out with wonderfully talented and friendly bloggers, as well as the great chats with all the tweeples with whom I tweet with online, only now it was in person!
In the end? While it was personally rewarding, the big winner here was Share our Strength. The Atlanta event, with both online and event donations, brought in over $1600. Not too shabby! :)
Thanks to all the gals, guys and restaurants who participated. All the organizing, the baking, the purchasing/donating will help kids. Truly. Wanda told us about how she has seen students in Douglas County reap the benefits of events like the Bake Sale. It was nice to hear of instances that are in direct response to the generosity of others.
I am sure that the others will post their thoughts about today's sale. Be sure to check their blogs for details!

Very good post Chris! Good to see you yesterday. It was fun! Thanks for the links.
thanks for the link! Will you ever have another macaron-making class? I'm desperate to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Chris this was a great effort by you all. Congratulations.
