The time was here to gather all the pre-sold orders and bake away! As the orders kept rolling in I was getting more and more excited...and a little nervous...47 dozen cupcakes to bake, decorate, and deliver in one weekend!!!
We were blessed to be able to use the Middle School Cafeteria. This allowed us lots more oven space, industrial sized mixers, huge cupcake pans, and plenty of counter space.
Several of us met on Saturday morning around 9:30 and got right to work. We mixed and baked and decorated until 3:00. We took a break at that point (I had my last post placement visit at 5:00!) and reconvened at 8:00 p.m. and baked and decorated and filled orders until 1:00 a.m!!
We had a lot of fun baking, and even more fun in fellowship.
On Sunday I met people up at the Middle School to hand out orders to be delivered. It only took about 20 minutes for 47 dozen cupcakes to disappear. Amazing!
I am excited to say that we raised over $1,500.00 for Sixty Feet!
That means that we provided:
2,962 meals
OR
1 month of schooling for 211 kids
OR
296 Bibles
OR
197 blankets
OR
basic medical care for 222 kids
OR
59 mattresses
OR
4 months of support for their Ugandan staff
OR
13.5 beds

WOW-ee. That is a lot of money! I am so impressed by the time and organization it took for you to complete this task. Good for you! God really used your skills to help these children! I suppose this is just one way you can help without adopting them all... I was thinking about that the other day. Wishing I could scoop up the babies who needed it and whisk them to a happier and healthier place. But I cannot take them all! So what you are doing is so neat and a great way to help out.
