Virtual Bake Sale Update

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated, placed a bid, and/or helped spread the words on the Virtual Bake Sale that benefits the Japan Earthquake victims.  We raised a total of $8269 in just one day, for all the baked goods sold in the auction.  So, thank you everyone!  For the rest of the details about the bake sale, please visit The Tomato Tart’s blog. 



On Monday, I shipped out two dozens of these Triple Chocolate Almond Cookies to the action winner.  The cookies should arrive today, I hope they stay intact in this lovely cookie tin.


This is such a beautiful cookie tin, just perfect for two dozens cookies.  Baked with love, from my kitchen to yours.  I packed some heart shape printed napkins on top of the cookies inside the tin so the cookies won’t move around during shipping.  Plus, the recipients can have some napkins to use while enjoying the cookies. 



I hope the winner and her family would enjoy these cookies as much as my family does. Thank you again!
