Virtual Great American Bake Sale - Cupcakes!

>> Monday, April 13, 2009

Welcome to the Virtual Great American Bake Sale! 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these ebooks will go toward Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale program. Funds raised through Great American Bake Sale are donated to after-school and summer feeding programs - food programs that many kids depend on when school is not in session. Great American Bake Sale is a program of Share Our Strength, a national organization working to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry.

This Virtual Bake Sale is sponsored by Cooking During Stolen Moments. I contributed Cookies and Cream Cupcakes to this great cause. To clear up some confusion, purchasing an ebook is not necessary to view all of the recipes bloggers have contributed. This ebook is a more convenient way to save all of the recipes in one spot. Think about it - how many recipes do you have bookmarked? This is just one file saved onto your hard drive for easy access. If you want to see the individual recipes, please visit the virutal bake sale table.

To purchase an ebook, please read the information posted after the recipe.

Carla, the cupcakes look so cute!! I see that you used your tips, aren't they so much fun? I'm getting so addicted. I want to make cupcakes and frosting just to use them even when I'm not in the mood for cake!
