Thanks for posting this. I'll email the organizer to offer some help!

You did a great job with the poster!

I'm glad I waited to email until this morning!

I offered any non-baking help I could.  I wish I could bake, but it's a sad, sorry sight my "goods".  Baked, that is. 

I'd love to buy ingredients and help someone bake.  Man the booth for a few hours.  Or buy stuff from Wheatsville or Cheer Up Charlie, don't know if that's against the spirit of the event. 

Either way, I hope to help out!

I'm totally driving up for this. Houston is not too far from Austin, easily a day trip.

Very cool poster.

we could definitely still use vegan bakers for Austin on 6/27!!  feel free to email me and let me know what you're thinking of baking.  i'm preparing to send an email out soon to all the volunteers. 

you can email either vegnartistnetwork@gmail.com or veganartistnetwork@gmail.com.  i orginally made the first one so that the vegetarians wouldn't be intimidated by an all vegan group.     i'm checking both emails every day now just in case, so take your pick!

kirsten - i've posted the flier a few places and several people have commented on how cute it is.  you really did an awesome job.

I am not 100% certain I will be in town that weekend so I can't commit to bake but if I'm not out of town I will definatly stop by to spend some money, those are two organizations that I am happy to give money to.

BTW do you know if either Food Not Bombs or Austin Pets Alive is looking for some help? I have been interested in doing some volunteer work on my free time.

So excited for this weekend!  Hope to meet lots of you and make some cash for great causes.

I just finished, too. Though I'm a bit uncertain about how MUCH I should bake.

Thanks for the list!

I may still drive up to Austin next weekend. Houston vegan food sucks and there have been tons of Austin's droolworthy food photos posted here lately. Plus, it gives me an excuse to hoard CTate's pastries.

hey! Thanks for the compliment. 
I won't be selling any of my baked goods at the bakesale at all. I'm doing family stuff this weekend.
If you want to place an order let me know and I can ship you something but this weekend we are really busy.
I'd love to bake you an order though, let me know.

If you go to bouldin creek cafe while in town, you can pick up some of my vegan queso. They serve it with tamales, on tacos, the vegan bfast platter (el tipico) and as an appetiser with chips. We no longer bake for the cafe though; we only do private orders now. I allowed another baker to use some of my recipes only for bouldin creek (like cookies and danishes and some cakes). Things have changed a little between us but I think it's impossible to make my danishes taste different (they are a bit smaller now though) so if you're looking for danishes you can check those out at bouldin.

Wow! Those put my muffins to shame!

This Bake Sale is going to kick arse!

it was really awesome to see you guys today! wes, i'm sorry i didn't get to meet you. leslie pointed you out, but i was unsure which "guy in the corner" you were, because there were about 5 guys in the corner. hahaha. next time, please!! i bought one of your brownie cupcakes!! hooray!!

Ahh, that's too bad you didn't get to meet Wes! He's a cool guy, I'm glad we got to chat a lot. And his brownie was insanely good. Everyone freaked over his margarita cupcakes too.

As for you! WOW It was so funny when you walked in with your INCREDIBLE apples and everyone started hooting. Hilarious!

Can't wait to post pics. Lots of us got some but I won't have time to post until Monday.

So nice meeting all of you and can't wait to see you again at Titayas on the 11th!

Kristen, I didn't realize you were the apple person. Those were out of control.

haha, thanks. they were kinda ghetto looking, cause i made them super late at night, but they were tasty (atleast, i thought so!).
