Calling all Boston bakers and dessert lovers
I read about this opportunity on a fellow Daring Baker’s blog – Butta Buns. This is a great opportunity to either bake some goodies or just eat some goodies for a good cause. Check out Jaye’s post for more information.
If you love desserts and would like to help several non-profit Asian-American organizations in the Boston area you could:
1) Contribute your own homemade desserts (see details listed below).
2) Attend and sample all the goodies on display. Go to http://aarw.org/dessert2008/ to purchase tickets online. When it asks which organization you’re from, let them know it was a BKA’er who sent you.
3) Spread the word, do a cut and paste job of this post and publish it to your own blog or email it to anybody you know who may be interested.If you’re able to contribute your own baked goods, please contact Truc Lai at truc.lai@bnymellon.com
Many Thanks,
Jaye aka Butta Buns
Oh and by the way, I plan on attending is some way. I’m leaning towards baking because as you all know, I love to bake! Any suggestions for what I should make?
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Interesting to know those things really happen! So what was your official feedback, and had everyone been raving about the food before the announcement? Hubby and I have eaten the Wanchai Ferry Sweet & Sour Chicken and weren’t thrilled with it (tasted very sweet and goopy, just overall processed). I guess it’s all psychological!
Hahahaha that’s so funny that they did a little switch on you. Like you pointed out, I guess that is how they did the Pizza Hut commercials.
I think you did a great, fair recap of the event. It was at least really nice to run into you there! And you got some great pictures.
Sarah – I updated my post to include more feedback. As I mentioned, we were discussing how the first two courses were much better than the entrees. At least at our table, there was no raving.
I’m glad you had fun, although I’m a bit perplexed that they thought they could fool foodies with a frozen dinner! I still haven’t been to Flour and really need to go – I feel like I’m a bad Boston blogger!
I agree Kerstin, most food bloggers probably don’t eat many frozen entrees… But it definitely wasn’t all food bloggers.
I heard about this event from Megan and it sounds interesting to say the least. It just seems like GM didn’t do their research because that is not similar to Myers + Chang’s food! Either way, at least you had fun with some other food bloggers!
