I LOVE baking. Those that know me or have read my blog know that a have quite the sweet tooth. So when I heard about this organization, Bake A Wish, that delivers birthday cakes to neglected/abused/abandoned children and elderly/disabled in the Austin area who would not otherwise receive a birthday cake, it was the perfect fit.
During college, I loved helping feed the homeless on Friday mornings by cooking and serving breakfast with friends. I could rock out some mean pancakes. Plus, you hear the best stories when you sit down and have a conversation with them. I'd been looking for something to get involved in for a while and this seems like the perfect fit. Now you don't necessarily get to see the kids/elderly/disabled that are receiving your cake, but I LOVE to bake (but rarely want to eat it all) AND get to sweeten up someones day that wouldn't normally get a birthday cake (who doesn't love birthday cakes??!?). HOW FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT?
Can you tell I'm really excited to be a part of this. If you love the idea, but are not quite as passionate about baking, you can sponsor cakes. Check out the site and see how you can get involved! I delivered my first cake yesterday - will post pictures soon! Love B
