I am so delighted to be working with a LOT of really talented bloggers to put together the Great American Bake Sale: Washington, DC. Here’s our official press release. Please, help us promote this event! Want to get involved? Get in touch! We need bakers, drivers, and charming sales people.

I’m working on figuring out the whole badge thing, I am such a technodork. But the resource center for bake sale participants is rocking! Recipes, ideas, banners, examples from previous bake sales. It’s so inspirational and well organized.

I have pie-deas. Savory and sweet. The rockstar list of bakers is growing, so remember, if you can’t bake for the sale, surely you can come shop? Put the date in your calender now – April 26, 2012, from 2-6pm.
