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?

That’s so awesome, I’d love to meet him too! I tried the chewy and it didn’t work out, but I blame that on myself. NONE of my cookie recipes turn out right, and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong…

I can’t believe I’ve found such a huge Alton Brown fan. He’s like the food version of Mr. Wizard, another nerd show I watched back in the day. I think Good Eats and Iron Chef America are my two favorite Food Network shows. Your night sounds like a blast, I’m sorry I didn’t hear about it and get to join in fun.

I just looked in the mirror. It’s true what they say…. I AM GREEN. LOL So exciting. I watched the 10th anniversary show last night on FN. I love him!!
(Side note: I think he got toooo skinny. He needs to be fattened up a smidge!)

Alton Brown is the ONLY FN star I would want to meet ever! And I live in his State..his county…heck… his city and shop where he shops. I never get to “bump” into him 🙂

You are so so lucky!!

Joe – did you see the 10th anniversary episode? Apparently when he was dreaming up the show he said he wanted it to be Julia Child + Mr Wizard + Monty Python.

Sorry to make everyone jealous, and I do agree that he looks TOO skinny.

Everyone be sure to check back tomorrow for a big AB giveaway!

Oh wow, how cool!!
Alton Brown is ultimate because he actually teaches you WHY you do things in certain recipes. A lot of steps that I would probably skip I learn why I shouldn’t

I am a new follower of your blog (which I must say is an absolute inspiration with me having just started my own. I hope that one day mine can be half as good as yours!) and I literally squealed when I saw this post. I’m a huge fan of Alton too. What a guy! 🙂
