Haiti

The Haiti bake sale was a major success! We raised $3285.43 for Doctors Without Borders, not including the proceeds Locali and C'est La V donated that day. There were at least seven tables full of vegan baked goods which magically disappeared by the day's end.

A huge thanks to Crystal (The runner of this bake sale), Afsoon, Allison of Bunny Muffin Bakery, Adam of Baked LA, Brittany of The Fakery Bakery, Alix of The Vegan Bake Sale, Lawrence of Ashcrow Design, Chloe, Ghalia Organics (Kindly donated gluten free toffee brownies), C'est La V, Vegan Mom, Kate, Vegyogini, Evania of Sunpower Natual Cafe, Jackie from Alternative Outfitters, Clara (An amazing 12 year old vegan baker), Carol, Erica, Beth, Monica, Meghan, Nicole, Sarah, Eirene, Stephanie, Sandy, Rafaela, Missy, Gwendolyn, Kevin, Kelly, and the ever lovely Locali for hosting us. Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered and stuffed their faces with baked goods.. There were so many of you!

First Bake Sale Recap!

This is a super late recap, but I get distracted extremely easily. Our first bake sale on the 21st went amazingly well and we sold out of basically everything! Thanks to everyone who helped, brought food, and bought things. So many awesome people!

Here are pictures of the event (All pictures taken by Afsoon):













By the end of the day, we were left with this:



We will have even more awesome vegans helping out next week and many more items for sale. Please drop by and support the animals! You may even get to hear some awesome shouting, thanks to Natalie because backpacks love bake sales!

First sale is tomorrow!

Come visit us tomorrow from 11am - 5pm at Locali! Be prepared to stuff your face with everything from Espresso Chocolate Chip Loaves to a Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake. There will be cookies, cupcakes, coffee cakes, cakes, cheesecakes, muffins, brownies, bars, flatbread, and even crackers. Gluten free and raw items will also be available.

Shojin, Ghalia Organics, and C'est La V are all donating baked goods for us to sell.

(I'll write more later, I'm busy baking!)

Shojin and IMPENDING DOOM! (Of awesomeness?)

Six days until our first bake sale! This is very exciting stuff, people. We are now on Craigslist also.

In other great news, my favourite restaurant of all time is donating cookies to our bake sale! Shojin is an amazing little organic vegan Japanese restaurant located in the Little Tokyo Shopping Center in Los Angeles. The people who work there are some of the nicest that you will ever meet and the food is beyond excellent. Their pastry chef, Chie, has a great little blog with photos of food and customers.

Afsoon trekked down to Locali and took some happy pictures so you guys could all see what to look for. We will be having it outside the cleaners next door.
