lunch money week, lunch money month!

.

.
Lunch Money Days is a city-wide campaign that asks Torontonians to run fundraisers in support of Second Harvest and donating the equivalent of your lunch money.

From their site: "Every $10 raised allows Second Harvest to rescue and deliver enough food to provide 20 healthy meals for those in need, so lettuce give! This year, Lunch Money Days will be celebrated the week of February 25, 2013."

For a 2nd year, Dufflet Pastries will donate $1.00 from every 4” Cowboy Cookie sold (price $1.80 each) for the entire month of February at all 3 Dufflet locations.

What's in a Cowboy Cookie? Chunks of dark chocolate and marshmallows, raisins, coconut, peanuts and oats.

Last year, over 250 Toronto companies ran Lunch Money Day fundraisers and raised dollars to provide for 675,000 meals.

Please visit lunchmoneydays.com to find out more and how you can participate and volunteer and follow them on Twitter @2ndHarvestTO

cake affirmations and ontario politics ...

.

As some of you know, our Hazelnut Cakelet® made the news lately when she unintentionally got in the middle of some political shenanigans on the weekend.

On Sunday, the handsome reporters known as Robert Benzie and Rob Ferguson wrote a story for The Star called "Sousa crowned queen-maker at Ontario Liberal leadership convention" and casually mentioned our cakelet in the article.
 
Since then, some people on Twitter (and you know who you are) have suggested that Hazelnut Cakelet is responsible for the outcome of the vote and now Hazelnut Cakelet is feeling a little inadequate.

Alternating layers of chocolate and hazelnut sponge cake with hazelnut buttercream in between and then drenched with dark chocolate ganache - what else could you want from a cake, people? 

Turn away from the mirror, Hazelnut Cakelet, you're delicious just the way you are!
