"Eat My Blog" Charity Bake Sale a Rousing Success!

Last week I posted something about “Eat My Blog,” which was a charity bake sale put on by a bunch of bloggers in the Los Angeles area. I’m proud to report that according to organizer Cathy Danh from gas•tron•o•my, the event raised over $3,000! That’s kind of insane. I didn’t think bake sales could even raise a fraction of that, but I suppose one should never underestimate the power of sugary baked goods. Nevertheless, the event was such a hit that there are already tentative plans for a second one in a few months. Will keep you all updated…
After the jump, a few pics from the bake sale.

My humble contribution: blondies. Here are three batches, uncut.

By the time I showed up at the bake sale at 1 PM, this was all that was left.

I had a giddy sense of joy every time someone bought one.

Amazingly, by 1 PM, about three quarters of the inventory had sold out. Apparently mine were NOT the must-have item I had initially thought they were.

The event actually drew a surprisingly large amount of foot traffic. Who knew that people walked in LA? Especially on a frigid 65 degree day with cloud cover!

As you can see, I’m not helping in any way. Just taking pictures. I did, however, assemble a few cardboard boxes.

Some great looking cupcakes from Lisa Timmons

Someone made Mozza’s famous butterscotch budino, as attempted here.

The blondies again.

This lucky couple bought a cake contributed by the Los Angeles Times test kitchen. Heroes of the day!
