For their senior project, my friends Amma and Adebia Ntoso worked a "Healing Haiti" project. They were going to raise money for beyond boarders in Haiti. They are part Haitian and their mother actually went to Haiti with a beyond boarders program since she is a doctor. Part of their project was throwing a fundraiser. While they collected money in school, they also ended their project with a big fundraiser at the Timmons House (a building at my school). After trying my food previously, they asked if I could bake for them. Clearly I said of course!!! I already baked for charity bake-sale so I definitely couldn't turn this down. There is just something even MORE rewarding about baking to make people happy while supporting extremely important people or causes.
For the bake sale I made vanilla cupcakes and cinnamon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I made them mini so that a) there would be a lot, and b) because they look more adorable (a trend i've been following a lot).
In addition, I made my previous chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Instead of caramel or candy, I put chocolate bars in the middle of the brownies to give them an extra chocolate touch!
Overall the fundraiser went GREAT!!! Amma and Adebia raised $537.24 from the in-school drive and $1091.10 from the event. I am so glad I got to help my friends out. Plus, as an added bonus I won my friend Taylor's piece of art in the silent auction!
