Yesterday was a perfect day for a bake-sale!! 
We set up tables out front of Tattoo Zoo and even though the sale didn’t officially start until noon … at about 11:45am there was a giant Dessert Mob!
Vegans were frantically (but humanely) trying to fill up their boxes/bags/hands with goodies before it all disappeared.
We had a steady flow of customers all day and by about 3pm we were basically sold out but we hung out till 4pm anyway … it was a beautiful sunny day and it felt nice to have the warm sun against my skin. It’s feeling like summmer here already!
Check out one our customers wallets – made out of a soymilk box. BRILLIANT!
This collection of cupcakes sat undisturbed for almost the whole day … nobody wanted to mess up the message.
Our community here in Victoria is small compared to bigger cities but we are mighty!
It was such a treat to visit with new and old friends …
Next year I have to remember to make some dog-cookies. We had a few disappointed doggies show up …
Big thanks to my friend Dave who was the coordinator of the bake-sale. He did a bang-up job of organizing the bakers and the event!!
And a BIG thank you to all the volunteer bakers and to everyone who showed up to support the event. I took a peek into the cash-box and I think we raised close to $1200 for Friends of Animals (Canada office).
When I got home I was feeling a little woozy and I thought it was from all the sugar I had eaten but I realized later that I had forgot to put sunscreen on and I ended up with a wicked burn. Only I would end up with an apron-string tan-lines…
Pink is the new tan??Â
Beautiful summary, Sarah – an amazing job from you and all the contributors, such a great community!!
And you’re pretty much spot-on with the $$, the total is: $1181.64 – woohoo!!!
That, combined with last year, will print up over 2,000 of Friends of Animals’ Vegan Starter Guide booklets, all for distribution in Victoria (and they’re printed on 100% post-consumer waste paper, so no forests harmed.)
Nicely done. =)
WAHOOOOO!
It looks like a beautiful day!
thanks to both of you for your tireless work to promote veganism and for allowing me to contribute w/o having to get sun burnt or talk to people (i do enough of that at work!)
We all enjoyed the delicious vegan treats! I’m kind of ashamed to admit we gobbled them all up in one day…
Also, that’s my baby!
