Chow / Conflict of Interest Donate a Pair of Socks to Teen Feed, Get a Free Delicious Cupcake

This is a Whatchamacallit candy bar baked into a brownie, topped with caramel and salted peanuts. This will probably be at the bake sale tomorrow.

You know how sometimes I bake cupcakes (that involve other things being baked into them)? Well I am baking literally tons* of stuffed cupcakes this weekend and giving them away in exchange for one pair of socks for Teen Feed.

Teen Feed gets anywhere from 40-70 homeless teens stopping by for a hot meal every night of the year. And with the Pacific Northwest winters being notoriously damp and cold, supplying the teens with a clean pair of warm socks is a great way to make a small difference.

So grab some new, warm socks** and bring them to Porchlight Coffee on Saturday, Dec 17 (that's tomorrow!) anytime between 2-6 pm (or until the cupcakes run out).

Want to continue to fill your belly? There are a lot more food events right here!

*I probably won't actually bake tons of cupcakes. But I will be baking a lot of cupcakes. My shopping list, so far, includes 10 pounds of butter.

**Or cold, hard cash so TeenFeed can buy socks on your behalf.

If you don't post the recipe you are a vile, evil woman with no human soul.

I can't make it during those times but would love to donate. Is there another time and place to donate?

The cherry pie baked in chocolate with white chocolate buttercream and the banana cream pie baked in vanilla with the Nilla wafer are far and away my favorites. They're ridiculously good!

Teen Feed is a truly important and amazing organization. I love them!

Wonderful, Megan! Best of luck. We, the little KiPs and their shorter mum, finished our sock drive and collected nearly 500 pairs. We'll be passing them out under the Morrison Bridge on Sunday, along with lunch, other clothes, hygine kits, tarps, and sleeping bags. Sadly no cupcakes, though. Teen Feed sounds like a wonderful organization. Go, Megan, go!
