Bake for Japan

It was raining early afternoon, thank goodness it warmed up later on!

This past weekend I was invited to take part in the Bake for Japan event that was held at the Amaranto Cafe on 809 St. Clair in Toronto. Several other locations across GTA was also part of the event. Together, generous Torontonians donated over $20,000 this weekend. All proceeds went directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

I was surprised at the amount of goodies (such as cupcakes, cookies, full sized cakes, t-shirts, buttons and many more) that were donated by bakeries (ie, the Guy who Bakes and the owners of Amaranto Cafe) and other volunteers. Another surprise was the amount of people who came out to make a donation on such a rainy day. I was truly amazed to see the power of kindness at work. It had been a great way to end the week =)

Ooh... very random, but we grabbed pizza at the 241 Pizza place just around the corner and it was sooooo yummy! The owners there were also very nice. This seemed to be a very nice neighborhood, filled with kind and giving people =)
