Cupcake Crazy!

oh my goodness …..!!!!!

We just tallied up the numbers for the big Cupcake Kids sale happening this Friday and wow …. you guys are amazing!!!!!!!!! We have over 612 pre-ordered cupcakes to make for the sale! WOW!!! This is awesome, soooo very awesome! [Um, I’m kinda scared!! LOL! Everyone is going to be busy baking up a storm this week! I am not doing this alone – My friend, Nicole, is baking with her daughter, my friend Tabi, is baking with her three sons, one friend, Leanne, is baking with her sons and I’m baking with the girls!]

Why are we doing this, you might ask? I know it sounds crazy to bake up over 600 cupcakes in a day and then spend the next day selling them with our kids, but there is a bigger story here.  I encourage you to read about the children of Uganda here. All the money raised through the Cupcake Kids sale will go straight to helping the imprisoned children through the aid of Sixty Feet. And not only that, but it is teaching our children how to love others … that even though we are worlds apart, we can still help others … that every little bit you do counts … to think of others before yourself ...

A big thank you to some pretty awesome women out there who have donated ‘cupcake’ items from their businesses to help boost up this sale – here’s a list of what will be ready for purchase the day of the Cupcake Kids sale.
