Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale Wrap Up

We held our second Brooklyn bake sale on Sunday and a wonderful time was had by all. We ate, drank, made merry, sang, danced and raised over $1000 for Farm Sanctuary and Sea Shepherd (and we're not done yet, so if you'd like to contribute, keep reading).

Oh yeah. There were also some cakes and things.

Bake Sale Twittering!

Just so you know, I'm on Twitter.

Normally, I'd never suggest following me, since I'm boring. But if you plan on coming to the bake sale, it might be a good idea to check out my feed for things like "OHMYGOD WE'RE STUCK IN TRAFFIC! WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET THERE!" or "Holy crap! We're already out of gluten free cupcakes!" or "Screw this, I'm going home".

Contrariwise, if you already do follow me on Twitter and don't want to read days of "Dammit! I burned my hand again!" and "I JUST DROPPED THREE DOZEN CUPCAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF FIFTH AVENUE!!" you may want to unfollow or silence me for a while.

Either way, I hope to see you there!

Wrap Up!

With our first bake sale only FIVE DAYS AWAY, it's time for me to get a little repetitive and sum stuff up for the folks just tuning in:

Cupcakes and Culture

Woo! The Worldwide Vegan Bake sale is fast approaching! It's exciting!

As previously mentioned, our sale will be held at the Open Source Gallery, in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We're lucky enough to be sharing the space with "3 Prisoners", an installation by Hubert Dobler, so expect the unexpected. If the space doesn't look like the ideal place to be holding a bake sale, come on in anyway. Don't be shy! We'll be in there. Honest. The piece has nothing to do with our bake sale, but all are welcome to check it out.

To read more about the installation, check out the gallery's site. Please note that pictures on the site are just examples of the artist's work and may not be indicative of this specific installation.

Updates!

2. Check out our snazzy prizes!



Yes, two lucky patrons (one each day) will win signed copies of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Vegan Brunch! There will probably be some sort of raffle. Don't worry, we won't make you hang around all day to win (though you're welcome to!).

We'll also have some other small free things (tea, coffee, hugs, etc.), but none of them will compare with the awesomeness that is Vegan Brunch. You NEED this book. And you need it free. Signed. And now that Isa lives in Portland, New Yorkers can't just stalk her for signatures anymore, so this bake sale is probably your best bet.


The bake sale will be June 21 and 28 at the Open Source Gallery: 251 17th Street, right off of 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn, just one block east of the Prospect Avenue M/R station and convenient from the B63 bus.

Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale

The Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale is coming to Brooklyn!

That's right, we're participating in Compassion for Animals' bake sale on June 21 AND 28, with the profits going to Farm Sanctuary and Sea Shepherd.

We'll be hanging out at the Open Source Gallery, in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with loads of vegan treats including some gluten free, low fat, low sugar, kosher, soy and nut-free options.

We'll have some free samples on hand for those who doubt the power of vegan baking, as well as some seating, music and drinks available, so come for the cookies but stay for the good times.

The Open Source Gallery is located at 251 17th Street, right off of 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn, just one block east of the Prospect Avenue M/R station and convenient from the B63 bus.

More details will be posted soon, so watch this space!

PS: We hope to be up and running around 11 AM and will be around until we've sold everything!
