NYC's Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti was on Sunday, January 31. And I think we can call it a success. We raised a total of $5,026 for Doctors Without Borders and had a fun day with amazing people and great treats.

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.

Vegan Bake Sale Day 1
We held our first bake sale on Sunday and things went surprisingly smoothly. We started a bit late, the weather sucked, chocolatey things got a bit melty due to the humidity and we had a small coffee accident, but other than that, smooth as silken tofu.
Before I talk about the past, a quick reminder about the future:
Our next bake sale is going to be even bigger and better*, and it's this Sunday, June 28, starting around 11 AM**.

"Its everything I could ever hope for...
...in a banana bread."
That's what my mother had to say about the banana bread from Papa Tofu (a superawesome cookzine).
My mother had a bunch of extra bananas hanging around the house this weekend and asked if I could do something with them.
Me: What? Like juggle?
Mom: No...maybe....food something.
Me: Bake?
Mom: Yes. I want banana bread (it sometimes takes her a while to stop beating around the bush).
So I brought down my cookbooks and tried to talk her into all sorts of other crazy banana-related sweets, but she insisted on plain banana bread. I'm glad she did because this stuff rules. In the zine, kittee suggests toasting the walnuts, which really brings out their flavor and makes every nutful bite a treat (I don't usually like nuts in my baked goods, but looked forward to finding the walnuts in this bread). My mother liked it so much she doesn't want anyone else in the house to eat it (since I made it for her), but she reserved a large piece for my grandmother, who loves banana bread.
When I said I really liked this bread and I'd definitely make it again, there were cheers all around. That's two baking successes in one week. Wooha!
