ASPCA

As previously mentioned, I'm out of sorts a bit lately with planning a move to Chicago and just realized that I had never posted the non-profit who would be receiving 10% of our profits for the month of July. (I didn't choose one for June as I was in the process of moving from TN to CA and did not take on any jobs). For the month of July, Maggie May's has chosen the ASPCA as our non-profit of the month.

The ASPCA was the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere.  Their mission is "to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States."  The ASPCA works to rescue animals from abuse, pass humane laws and share resources with shelters nationwide.  To find out more about this organization, please click on the following link:   http://www.aspca.org/

Here is also a YouTube video about the organization:

Pastry School

Wow... in less than a month I'll be off to Chicago to participate in their L'Art du Gateau program at the Chicago French Pastry School and I'm freaking out a teeny tiny bit (please read that I'm being sarcastic as I'm very much freaking out) as I still don't have housing.  I'm trusting that, as in any situation, God will come through and provide me with a place to stay.  Anywhoo... here's a quick update on some of the projects I worked on the past couple of months...

This is a 'Clubhouse Mickey' themed birthday cake for a 5 year old little boy.
The only requirements for this cake were that it be chocolate and surf/beach themed.
