Bake and Give Project Update

So you might remember Elijah, the first recipient of The Bake & Give Project.

Thanks to everyone that ordered from The Bake & Give Project and the matched donation by a local chiropractic clinic, almost $700 was raised for Elijah and his family.

See what random goodness nd cookies and cupcakes can do?

Thanks so much to everyone that ordered.  I couldn't have even thought of giving this amount by myself, but because of people with giving hearts like you, more than what I could have ever could have imagined was given to this family. 

A new Bake & Give Project recipient is going to be announced in the Spring, so if you didn't get a chance to give to Elijah, but would like to get in on the wonderful opportunity to give through the Bake & Give Project, stay tuned!

Bake & Give Blessing

I got a phone call the other week from one of my very favorite friends. 

She and I met in Hawaii.  A far cry from my roots here in Minnesota. We were young-in's, not even 21.  After our short stint at school in Hawaii and a missions trip to Papua New Guinea, she went back to her home in Washington and I came back here.

We have only seen each other a handful of times in the last ten years, but every time we connect on the phone, it's as if we live two minutes away and just saw each other yesterday.  I so wish we did!

Don't you just cherish those kinds of friends so much?

Anyways, this friend from mine from Washington read about the Bake & Give Project and wanted to be a blessing to Elijah.  But what makes her so amazing is that she wanted to take it one step further and be a blessing to others.

So she got a group of friends together and they placed an order.  Six dozen cookies.  Any flavors I wanted to make.  A dozen each to be sent to six different addresses.... anonomously.  A surprise of cookies mailed to someone they knew was going through a rough time or to someone that could just use a little blessing in the mail.

Let me tell you, as a baker, I was blessed.

I've been learning alot as I bake.  And not just about how measurements should be accurate, or ingredients should be at room temperature, or exactly the right speeds to mix, but about how there is good out there in the world.  About how people really do want to give and spread a little bit of love to others.  About how things don't always have to be said, but can be spoken through actions.

The cookies were baked.  Six dozen different kinds.  Because I just got excited.

And the cookies were packaged with care and mailed. 

And I hope enjoyed.

I am so inspired by these women.  And by those who have ordered.    Thank you!!

 

Much Baking Love,

Jessie the Baker

Ahhh, a new season.  I feel like fall is officially over and winter has begun.  Although, there isn't any snow here yet....that's okay with me, though:)

Winter season means winter cupcakes and cookies for the Bake & Give Project.  Click here to read more about the Bake & Give Project and how you can help cute little Eijah just by purchasing cookies and cupcakes.

New for this season....

The white chocolate cherry cookie!

This is a chewy cookie filled with cherries and white chocolate and drizzled in white chocolate.

I love how it looks as festive as a candy cane.

And the Peppermint Brownie cupcake!

This is a brownie cupcake topped with peppermint buttercream frosting and garnished with red candies.

Delish.

Thank you so much to Dre at SagePine Studio for creating this logo that is perfect for the Bake and Give Project! 

Bake and Give Update

 
Hi guys!

I just wanted to fill you in a bit on what's been happening in the Bake and Give Kitchen.

The recipies have been completed and the flavors of cupcakes and cookies have been created.  I'm going to be getting some taste testers comments to see what could be improved upon before I post the final list.  But stay tuned because it's an exciting combo of flavors!

The logo design by Sage Pine Studio is in the works and from what I've seen it looks fantastic!  I can't wait to show it to you!

I have baked with the donated cupcake liners from Simply Caked and am sold on them.  Anytime I need to order cupcake liners, this is definetly the place to go to.

My goal is to be able to be ready to go by October 1st~ 

On a side note, the three dozen cupcakes pictured above were baked and donated to a benefit to help raise $$ for a family going through a terrible tradegy.  They lost their baby to SIDS.  It has to be one of the most horrible emotional human experiences ever.  My prayers and thoughts go out to them.  If you have a moment, send a prayer to above for them too.

Bake & Give Project logo coming soon!

 

A huge shout out and thank you to Andrea of SagePine Studio for desiging the logo for the Bake & Give Project!!

She does amazing graphic design and I am so excited to see what the logo is going to look like:)

You have absolutlely got to check out more about her here and view some of her eye catching designs here.  Did I mention she creates invites and cards?  And clicks photos that will take your breath away??

Thank you again Andrea and stay tuned for the new logo!!

Bake and Give Project

Bake and give.

I think it's what I was made for.  Because I love to bake and I love to give.

The other day I had a thought.  An intense thought.  A thought that right away put doubt into my senses.  A thought that overcame doubt when I looked at those around me.

Is this a little deep for a baking blog??

 
        {image via Pinterest}

Ahhhh...a sparkly, pretty cupcake.  That's more like it, right?

Okay, so bake...I mean back..... to my thought....

It is new.  Fresh.  In the works in my mind.

I am going to start The Bake and Give Project.

This is what I envision:

I will bake and sell cupcakes and cookies.  I will give 100% of the profits to people that are in need.

How did I come up with this crazy idea? 

There are so many people in need.  I hear about them and I want to help.

I am blessed to be able to do what I love, but there is only so much one person can do on their own.

So you can help, too.

Bake+ buy= Give=helping someone in need=doing something good.

It's just in the beginning stages, but I know it can be something great.

These are the details I have so far in my thoughts....

When you buy, you will recieve a card stating who your purchase is helping.

I will have ten regular flavors and three seasonal flavors of cupcakes and cookies.

Cupcakes will be available in the Minneapolis area.  Cookies will be able to be shipped to the US.

 

Whew!  I will keep you posted as I test and create flavors and keep The Bake and Give Project going!

Thank you so much for your support and reading!!
