Gabe and I were really excited when one of readers, Amanda, connected us with Toronto Bakes for Japan. As Gabe mentioned, we volunteered our time to photograph and help with a great cause this past weekend in front of the Rivoli.
The people involved in this event ranged from amateurs to professional bakers, but the donated baked goods all seem to be prepared at a very high level of detail and care; just look at these mouth-watering treats and their cute packaging! Although it was pouring all Saturday morning, many people slowed down their pace and came by our little stand to show their support for Japan as well as their love for sweets. We had a constant flow of people coming, so we knew we were doing well. However, much to my pleasant surprise, I just read, at the Rivoli alone, we raised $6,090.54, and at all nine locations, we now have raised a total of $27,819.41! If you weren't able to attend the event, you can still donate! All proceeds go to Red Cross
I will let our photos speak for the rest. You can flip through the slide show below or view it larger, here. Thanks for coming out!
