money was raised for minot

last week i posted here about money for minot, a fundraiser for the flood victims in minot.

i want to thank each one of you who donated!

i’m beyond pleased. people were writing checks for $100 and over. a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!

a big thank you goes to go radio broadcasting, wday-am and the american red cross.

money for minot

the city of minot is in need of my help and yours. the souris {mouse} river has flooded minot braking the 1881 all-time record.

nevertheless, more than 4,000 houses have been damaged as the souris streamed the levees the past two days. heartbreaking.

here in fargo, and everywhere in the state of north dakota, people are coming together to help our far away neighbors of minot. if you are not familiar with the geography, minot is 5 hours northwest of fargo.

go radio broadcasting, a radio group in fargo, is putting together money for minot, along with wday-am and the american red cross, to help raise funds for the minot flood victims. they are gathering all its talent and staff on monday, june 27 from 8am to 6pm at the holiday inn parking lot on 13th avenue south {right across from west acres mall}.

the baking cup is donating cupcakes & cheesecakes to money for minot with all the proceeds going to our friends in need.

make sure you stop by and make your donation. oh, and get a cupcake or cheesecake, too.

for more information, visit www.moneyforminot.com.

sarah – feisty eats blog

i read sarah’s blog on a regular basis. she loves food and blogs about it. in detail. which comes pretty handy.

looove her posts about grilling & asian food. those are my favorite :)

besides her homemade adventures she goes to local restaurants to try their food. she comes home and blogs about it. too.

a.k.a. she  reviews the food. as i said. before. in. d.e.t.a.i.l.

i get an email the other day. hmm, let me check my inbox again, i said. you have to take in consideration i just had checked it 3 minutes ago.

hit refresh and i see the “receiving 1 message” notification and i’m super excited.

you know who emails me? yeah. sarah. {ahhh}.

when i see her email requesting one dozen of the lemon lime cupcakes. i. immediately had a light bulb over my head with the words: blog.

thought to myself: well. she’s going to blog about the cupcakes and she is going to be honest. pressure is on. so i went and bought my ingredients – fresh as usual – right away.

here are her tweets and her photos. click here to read her review on the baking cup cupcakes and to follow her blog & delicious posts.

thanks sarah!

lemon keeps on giving

if you read my previous entry here, you know the baking cup has been baking lots of sweets with lemon.

{what’s that? you haven’t read it. yet? thanks to technology you can by just clicking the link above! but. promise me you’ll come back though.}

this time. lemon was mixed with something else. another ingredient popular among bakers in general: poppy seeds.

i don’t know what it is about these seeds that are so awesome !!! tanginess, perhaps? if you do know. please leave me a comment below.

proceeded to adventure. and. baked lemon poppy seed cupcakes & frosted them with cream cheese. this is to continue the tanginess. i guess?

they were a hit and are becoming quite popular. so much. that. i decided to add it as a new flavor!

you can have these with any other frosting of your preference. too.

enjoy!

introducing a new friend

yes. the baking cup has a new friend. well. i would say they’ve been best friends lately.

you and me are all excited because it’s 70 degrees {average} outside. and. feel. well. like eating everything light.

hmm. light it’s not a great word. i don’t like diets and that word reminds me of it. and. i don’t think you like it either.

it’s all about balanced meals throughout the day, right?

ok. instead of light. let’s say flavorful and fragrant. what do you think? it’s that a little better?   i think so :)

the baking cup has been delivering tons of orders lately. and. let me just say that i’m a happy human being!

these orders include flavors that. i. myself. have. never. heard. before.

but. i will tell you more about that later this week.

lemon and the baking cup are pretty close together. that much. that. they are falling in love.

why? hmm, i found out that lemon it’s a top pick & a favorite among the baking cup lovely clients.

even this tweet from @al_winmill was about the lemon-lime and swiss merengue buttercream cupcake i delivered to my tweep @katpinke :)

if you don’t follow them on twitter. you know what you have to do {hint: click the links above}
