I love a good bake sale. I'm sure it is because my parents never let me buy anything when I was a kid and so I spent most of my youth envying the kids who had parents that would treat them to a cupcake or a rice krispy treat. But I also just love the spirit around bake sales. It is ususally a group of people who want to raise some money for a good cause.
It looks like a great one has been organized to raise funds for Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale. Cathy Barrows, from the blog Mrs. Wheelbarrow's Kitchen, and many other great DC food blogging bakers will be selling their treats at the Washington Post Building on 15th and M Street from 2pm to 6pm (1150 15th Street NW.) Just enter the main lobby of the building and you will be delighted by the selection of goodies. I am sure of this. All proceeds will benefit the Share Our Strength charity.
I will show up early to ensure that I get one of One Vanilla Bean's macarons and Bon Appetit Foodie's oatmeal raisin cookie. Bring cash (small change please) and spread the word.
