Calgary Food Blogger Bake Sale

Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately! I've been busy... putting too much on my plate and not sleeping... planning the Calgary Food Blogger Bake Sale happening next weekend - February 11 and 12!

You may remember the first bake sale back in June 2010 where we raised over $1,200 for Calgary Meals on Wheels.

This time, we are raising money for another fantastic "foodie" charity, Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids Society - we hope to break our previous record!

Please come join us next weekend, February 11 and 12 from 10 AM - 5:30 PM at Casel Marché for some yummy baked goodies, as well as the usual Saturday food trucks and free wine tastings at J. Webb Wine Merchants! I will be there all day Saturday, while Dan from Dan's Good Side will be there all day Sunday. We will be joined by some great food bloggers throughout the weekend so please come down and meet us!

For more details, including a list of all the blogs involved, check out our Facebook event or follow the Twitter hashtag #yycFBBS See you there!

P.S.: Big thanks to Chelsea Klukas for designing our gorgeous poster this year!

P.P.S.: Please check out Calgary Meals on Wheels' charity event, YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, all through the month of February! I'm thinking of organizing some sort of "hot chocolate crawl" before the month is up - anyone in?

Ohh I would be interested. I maybe a bit limited with my baby girl but if I can help in a "small way
" i would. Do you need more cookies, cakes etc to sell? Please let me know. I am so excited to see an event like this in Calgary. Jen

I've seen some images on Just a Smidgen. It looks like the event was a huge success. I love how beautifully everyone packaged their goodies. You have a lot of talented cooks in Calgary.

I am IN for a hot chocolate crawl!!!! :)

Great work on the FBBS. I hear we raised over $2000?! Woot!

Thanks for all the hard work. Jacinthe

Vincci said...

Thanks, Jacinthe! I don't know who's spreading the rumours that we raised over $2,000 because we only raised $1,900. A good number nonetheless!

The SPECIEST line of products will continue to champion original thinking and will carry that thought process to its logical conclusion in the form of an entire line of unique supplements that will strictly adhere to my core nutritional beliefs and teachings. Macadamia nut oil
