Learning New Designs :)

2011-02-06T15:37:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd write a quick post about what I've been up to this week.
I had an order for a one year old's birthday party so I made some designs I've never made before... I thought they were super cute!

I also have been practicing with Royal Icing, here are some flowers I made.

I have a few Valentines Day orders to work on this week, Pics will be posted next week!

Valentines Day!

2011-01-30T13:26:00.000-08:00

My break is over and I'm back with some new cupcake designs, Just in time for Valentines Day!

Get your orders in soon!

I will be donating 10% of all sales from now to May to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation!

Not only will you be putting a smile on your loved ones face but you will also be helping a charity in need :)

Leave your comments and let me know what you think!

The Holidays!

2011-01-06T19:06:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately I haven't been selling any of my Cookies or Cupcakes lately, therefore I haven't donated to any charities through AmandasCookies4Hope in awhile :(
The good news is that I plan on kicking it up a notch and I really hope to make more sales this year than last.

I have been doing a lot of baking just for fun though.. Here are a few cupcakes that I've made lately.

RECENT EVENTS

2010-05-01T08:58:00.000-07:00

There wasn't a lot going on last month so I had some time to do just for fun cookies and CUPCAKES :)
(see pics below)

Yes, I started baking cupcakes too (just for fun for now) I actually really love decorating cupcakes, I'm finding it more fun than making/decorating cookies.
I'm going to wait a little while before I officially sell them, I'll keep you posted :)

I decided that from now on I will be donating to a different charity by season rather than by month or event, this gives me more time and occasions to increase the donation to the chosen charity :)

10% of the sales I get from April - end of August will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

IN HONOUR OF MY FATHER-LIVER HEALTH MONTH

2010-04-01T19:18:00.000-07:00

The Canadian Liver Foundation contacted me in February and made me aware that March is Liver Health month and so I decided to use this opportunity to do alittle fundraising through my cookie sales to the Canadian Liver Foundation.

My father passed away 7 yrs ago from Liver disease and so last months event was very close to my heart.
I tried my very best to raise as much as I could through my cookie sales and I actually did very well :)
I just placed a donation of $300
Thanks to all my supporters!

I had a small get together (mini fundraiser) on March 28th with close friends and family.

Congratulations to Ursula Sellitto, the winner of the draw for the $50 gift certificate :)

The Canadian Liver Foundation is very special to me. I lost my Father 7 yrs ago to Liver Disease, and so this month to boost sales I will be entering every customer during this month into a draw to win a $50 Gift Certificate to be used at either Yorkdale Mall, Scarborough Town Centre and Square One. The winner will be selected on March 31st, 2010.

My Spritz and Amaretti Cookies are being redesigned due to my injured hand. They are still very pretty and delicious.

Below is a msg from CAMH about our Christmas donation to Gifts of Light, I thought I'd share it with everyone because I sure didn't do this on my own.
Thank You to everyone!

Dear Amanda,

Thank you for purchasing a CAMH Gift of Light last holiday season.

Thanks to your generosity, we delivered gifts to the 600 clients who spent the holidays with us. For many of our clients, this was the only gift they received- and may well have been the most important one you gave last year.

I had the pleasure of handing out gifts to clients in the Mood and Anxiety program. It was a joy to watch the faces of clients light up knowing that someone had taken the time to think of them.

I wanted to share with you some of the wonderful things people had to say about your Gifts of Light :

“It was such a pleasure to wrap my daughter in her new pajamas, lovely terry robe and cuddly throw. In her most distressed time, she gave away all her clothes. We look forward to helping her buy new ones when she’s discharged. This is a wonderful bridge until then.” –Mother of a CAMH client

“It was so touching to think that someone has spent so much on a gift for me. It was a really, really special gift.” –CAMH client

“I don’t have family and it was nice to get a gift for the holidays.” –CAMH client

Thank you for supporting those in the community fighting addiction and mental health issues.

Sincerely,

Valerie Pringle
