Every year for the past six or so years my firm has raised money to donate to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. One of our partners has a son who has suffered from this disease since he was a baby. We divide into three teams for a light-hearted competition to see which team (tax, audit, admin) can raise the most money. My team, the admin team, holds a bake sale every year along with other fundraising activities. We are the smallest team - only seven of us - yet among us we bake up a storm. Last year we made over $500 on the bake sale alone and we won the competition. This year we made only a little less. We display all our goods on fancy dishes and serving pieces so it ends up being a very upscale-looking bake sale. We set up outside the cafeteria in our building. This year I made gluten-free cookies. Even the sprinkles are gluten-free. Another baker made sugar-free chocolate chip cookies. We try to cover all dietary needs. Some people chastize us for selling sugary treats to raise money for diabetes research, but I don't think we could raise as much selling a healthy treat like carrot stix with fat-free ranch dip.
I boxed my chocolate chip cookies in boxes with fancy labels. These are not gluten-free or sugar-free or butter-free.
I made the Dark Chocolate Pepper Cookies and the Rosemary Cookies again and added another kind - Cream Cheese Walnut Cookies.
I also boxed these.
Carrot Cake Cupcakes
These confetti layers
were turned into this Confetti Cake.
Gee Whiz, I baked for two days. I feel like I should have more to show for it.

Beautiful baked goods. Nice carrots on top the cupcakes. Next year, I will try to do a couple of nice jewelry pieces for you.
Just remembered that I also baked 5 smallish loves of Harvest Bread. Homemade wheat bread with toasted wheat germ in it. B and I ate one that hadn't sold at the sale. It was really good. I'll have to make that again.
my mouth is watering. All looks delicious.
