Yesterday, I participated in a bake sale to raise money for Japan. It was awesome! We raised just over $2,500 in four hours at Akasha, and I’m looking forward to seeing how much the effort raised in total as it was happening simultaneously all around the country.
In addition to raising boku cash for Peace Winds Japan, it was awesome mingling with other chefs, bakers, and foodies. We swapped bread tips, chocolate tips, favorite restaurants, and more. For the event I made chocolate peanut butter macarons and two kinds of dark chocolate truffles: truffles with caramel and sea salt and chocolate peanut butter ones. Photos and lots more details to come tomorrow. For now, I’m off to enjoy my lazy Sunday.
