Such a creative post title.
Not.
The most exciting part of Saturday’s vegan bake sale wasn’t the food.
It was getting to finally meet my friend, Christy, in person. (She’s the author of the fabulous vegan cookbook, Blissful Bites, and 23 of her recipes are also in the new Skinny B*tch cookbook… so basically, I felt like I met a celebrity :).) I was also lucky enough to meet Jade, the incredible girl who organized the entire bake sale!
Christy and I talked for so long that I almost forgot to scope out the vegan baked goods.
Almost, but not quite.
See my huge smile?
Since it was a good cause, and since I’m lousy at making decisions, I went crazy and bought lots of baked goods. Let’s see if I can remember them all… Rocky road cake ball, sweet potato empanada, mini doughnut, cinnamon-sugar doughnut, blueberry muffin, lemon coffeecake muffin, chocolate-pb cookie, banana bread, cinnamon roll, and ginger-spice cookie:
My friend Amy invited a few girls over after work, so I brought the box along and we had fun tasting everything. Some of the treats were delicious; others were just ok. The ginger-spice cookie was absolutely awesome… and I don’t normally even like spice cookies!
I do have a recipe for Raw Gingerbread Men.
But I want to try making soft cookies like the one above (it’s hiding under the muffin and the empanada). If the baker of that cookie happens to be reading this post, please accept my thanks for money well spent.
Above, gorgeous cakes from Spiral Diner, and a cute little shopper!
Question of the Day:
Have you met any of your online friends in person?
If you want to laugh, be sure to check out this very old post.
It’s a post of my first-ever blogger meetup! 🙂
That looks sooo good! I wish I could have made it 🙁 but school is currently trying extremely hard to kill me lol! I will have to come to the next one!
Glad you had such a good time. I have to agree with Lisa though, I would have expected much more chocolate in that box of yours! 😛
Katie those look great. I met and still friends that I met online when we were all pregnant 15 years ago..and all our babies were due in june….. im in California and if I go to NY there’s a mom there I can hang out with. Same with Texas…. I love it…..
Hmm also I met my husband online 11 years ago…does that count?
Hi Katie! I have an idea for something that could be totally awesome and connect you with all your fans! You could have your own YouTube channel and post videos of you making your INCREDIBLE AND DELICIOUS CREATIONS! People could watch you vegan bake/create while seeing your awesome personality in real life instead of only being able to read it!
I need to figure out you tube first! I would love to do that… or an iphone app… there are too many things I want to do and not enough time to learn how to do it all 🙁
Looks like it was a really fun event!
I love the photo with the little girl at the table with all the delectable treats! So cute.
Vegan bake sales are the place to meet celebrity crushes. Last year I met Isa Chandra Moskokwitz in Portland, Oregon.
How cool.
I am going to do a vegan bake sale this weekend.
So I came to find some gréât recipes I know I Will.
Any suggestions or ideas???
So cool! I loved the pics. Way to give back too. 🙂
Oh my! That bake sale looks absolutely scrumptious! I am so jealous of the vegan cakes that rose! I cannot figure out how to make mine do the same. Trying to have a vegan bake sale soon!
That would be so cool to meet up with a friend blogger. You probably have so much in common since both of you like to cook.
I’m so jealous, why am I stuck here on the other side of the world? It looks so yummy and fun!
I have a question though, do you have any tips for runners starting out? I’m getting a bit more serious about it, but I’m still feeling pretty noobish.
It’s a really old post, but hopefully it can be somewhat helpful! https://lett-trim.today/2009/01/08/chocolate-covered-song-of-the-day-and-an-interminably-long-email/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Thanks! Yeah, it was helpful 🙂
