Hi! Carmen here…welcome to my blog!
Back on April 17, 2010, I hosted the First National Food Bloggers Bake Sale (New Jersey) to benefit Share Our Strength. Their mission is to END CHILDHOOD HUNGER.
Our goal was to raise $500. WE RAISED $600!
PHOTOS of the BAKE SALE day are finally here. Preeti of Preetalina Photography photographed the event. 'Thank You' Preeti!
The bake sale was a lot of fun! Lots of commitment and serious work went into this event.
We were a very small group, but a group that ran like a well oiled machine!
Kudos to all!
It is an honor to give back to the community. I plan to continue with many philanthropic endeavors in my lifetime. I encourage you...
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!
So, time for some photos...

It was breezy on the day of the bake sale. So, had to wear my chef coat over my t-shirt.
Here, I'm wearing the t-shirt several days before the event. You can order your very own t-shirt from
