I thought we’d end Candy Corn week with a sweet treat of a different sort.
I found these photos on pretty kitty knitty city and they really made me smile. I hope it does the same for you!
Oops, don’t eat the outfit!
Didn’t I tell you it would make you smile?
This is the second of many ”Sweet Inspirations” posts. Every week I’d like to feature a story that hopefully will inspire, enlighten and give us that overall warm, fuzzy feeling. If you have a story or know of someone doing something good, send us an email at PartyPatisserie@gmail.com.
This week, I’m so happy to share the story of two young women who are working to cure cancer, one cupcake at a time.
Kathryn Pekarik was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma in May of 2010. Later that year, Kathryn’s sister Laura baked 250 cupcakes to sell at a benefit held in Kathryn’s honor. The cupcakes were such a big success that the two sisters launched Cupcakes for Courage, a cupcake truck that delivers tasty cupcakes around the Chicago area.

A percentage of the proceeds from the sales go to cancer research and the Ride Janie Ride foundation. Laura and Kathryn sell about 100-200 cupcakes a day.
If you’re in the Chicago area and would like to buy a cupcake, keep an eye out for the bright green truck! You can keep track of the truck’s whereabouts on the Cupcakes for Courage website, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.

Our inspiration this week is the “50+ Top Blogs All Time Favorite Recipes” cookbook. I first heard about the project on How Does She? According to How Does She, several bloggers were inspired after learning about the devastation in Japan several months ago. They and other bloggers came together, and each contributed their favorite recipe to the book.
Chickabug designed the book, and Paper Coterie published it. Both donated all of their time and materials.
100 percent of the proceeds from this fantastic cookbook are going to the American Red Cross, who will use the money to help the the many people who have been affected by the recent natural disasters around the world.
I’ve already ordered mine! Bravo to all those involved in this fantastic project.
