My contribution to the fundraiser?
I baked so that the cyclists and walkers can enjoy dessert after their lunch.
I baked a Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Rum Raisin Sauce.
This recipe will be posted on May 16, 2010.
I am in a group called Sweet Melissa Sundays and I will be hosting this recipe on that day.
Look for the recipe on my May 16, 2010 post.
I also baked cupcakes...
Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting 
Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Desserts await the bikers and walkers from their bike/walk tour…
