A little late, but worth the wait.
As noted a few posts back, on Sunday, April 29 two friends and I (Joy and Dan) held the second annual Tacoma edition of Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale at King’s Books. I had another fundraiser to attend and arrived late, but it was still hopping, brimming with delicious treats, and visited by great people towards the end.
After all was said and done we raised $590 total for Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest! We definitely couldn’t have done it without all the wonderful bakers, volunteers, our gracious second-time host King’s Books, and everyone else who helped spread the word and make this event a success. Thank you!
I’m sure you’re dying to see some photos of the delicious baked goods, so here they are. All photos are by Joy Clendening and Dan Martin.
Rice crispy treats, cookies and macaroons.
I made Coffee Chip Muffins again, and Joy made some delicious/healthy breakfast muffins and lemon chia bread, which is so yummy.
Large lit table with info from Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest and vegan books that are available at King's.
I think one of my favorite items for sale this year was Leah's pesto rolls, a combination of two delicious things.
Beautiful cupcakes and cookie display and boxes.
Like last year, we also had a giant table filled with nothing but vegan literature, info on the Chimp Sanctuary and also vegan/animal rights books for sale at King’s Books. No leftover baked goods from this event went to waste, and all extras were taken to the Tacoma Rescue Mission.
Did you hold a Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale event this year in your city? If so, how’d it go and what treats did you enjoy?
So glad it went well! Love the display in the last photo, with the boxes and pretty platters. Hopefully I can make it next year, if you guys continue this awesome tradition!
Whoa — pesto rolls! Everything looks so delicious! What do you put in your coffee chip muffins? I’m intrigued!
congrats on a super successful bakesale dawn!
this year i organized my city’s first year participating in the event & it was a huge success. my favourite part of it all {aside from the goodies themselves!} was seeing vegetarians & vegans come out of the woodwork and meeting them all. community is a grand thing, isn’t it?
