Miami's Food Blogger Bakesale is BACK!

This is the fourth year the Food Blogger bakesale is going on in Miami and the second year I'll be participating in it. Last year our bakesale ended up ranking third in the nation, let me say that one more time fo some emphasis, THIRD IN THE NATION. 100% of all the proceeds from the bakesale go to Share Our Strength. Share Our Strength is a national non-profit organization that is working towards bringing an end to childhood hunger here in Uhmerrica.

If you're a food blogger (yea I'm lookin at you Burger Beast, GourmandJ, Chat Chow TV, and South Florida Burger Overload) feel free to join the team, there's lots of ways to help. You can either bake with us for the day of the actual bakesale, help with online fundraising or just help spread the word through your social media outlets. Last year we were able to make it to the top 3 bakesales in the country, getting beaten out by NYC by only a couple of dollars. Best part is, Domino Sugar matched our fundraising efforts, making our total donation $7,304. I know that with more hands on deck, this little bakesale can be the best in the country.

Along with the bakesale, there is a whole online fundraiser going on. You can make a donation as small as $1, because any little bit will help. This year, nearly one in five kids in Uhmerrica will face hunger. That's more than 16 million right here in our own country. Next time you're in line at Starbucks, think about donating the money you're about to spend on hungry children. Btw, a $1 donation will help feed one child with 10 meals... like I said any little bit helps! Did my guilt trip work? If so, feel free to donate a couple of dollars here.



2012 Miami Food Blogger Bakesale

In an effort to try and raise the most money possible, we've put together a pretty awesome raffle. The raffle winners will be announced at the actual bakesale on May 4. Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each, 3 for $10. If you can't make it out to the actual bakesale on 5/4, any local person that has made an online donation will be eligible for a raffle entry! So what the heck is being givin away in this raffle anyway? Well a butt-load of gift certificates to some of my favorite local restaurants and other really neat stuff:
