Austin Bakes for Japan

I volunteered for a wonderful event to raise money for AmeriCares to aid in the relief effort for Japan

The bake sale will be in 5 different locations in Austin on Saturday April 2 starting at 9am  

If you are interested in finding out more about the bake sale or to learn how you can help, go here

Downtown: Woof Gang Bakery, 1204 N. Lamar Blvd. 78703 

East: Nomad Bar, 1213 Corona Drive, 78723

Central: Foreign & Domestic, 306 E. 53rd St., 78751

South: Hotel San Jose, 1511 South Congress Ave., 78704

Of course when you think of a bake sale the first thing that comes to mind is cookies, cakes, brownies, cupcakes etc. 

.......of course I can't go that route, that would be expected

I plan to donate:

Cheddar Cheese Dill Bread

Rosemary and Feta Crackers

2 jars Sweet Pickle Relish

I'll be sure to post pictures when I make everything in the hopes of tempting you to go to the nearest bake sale to you and picking up some delicious treats for yourself!
