Eat My Blog Recap: Summer 2010

It’s safe to say that the most common sight in local homes on Saturday were pink and white pastry boxes—empty, slightly creased and spotted with icing and melted chocolate fingerprints. According to Twitter, cupcakes were a popular Sunday breakfast food. Both are signs that there was an epic bake sale this weekend.

Thanks to generous bloggers, bakers, volunteers and buyers, Eat My Blog raised over $5,400 for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. After loading up a box of goodies for a couple walking their dogs, one bake sale volunteer commented, “Charity is so much fun!” There were lots of smiles, lots of good food, and most importantly, a good chunk of change raised for charity.

It was so much fun, we’re going to do it again! That is, after everyone has recovered from eating nothing but sweets for two solid days. Stay tuned for details on Eat My Blog 3, coming this winter.
