We wanted to share this video made by Cherry St of our Nov. 2009 benefit for Animal Aid Unlimited. So far we have raised $2,425!! WOW!!<br /><br />More than half of these donations were made by people who did not attend the Sugar Crash fundraiser. We are so close to being halfway to our $5,000 goal. Consider <a href="http://www.animalaidunlimited.com/donation.html">sending a check/donating directly</a> to <a href="http://www.animalaidunlimited.com/index.html">Animal Aid</a> (with Sugar Crash in the margin so they know how you heard about them, and we can feel good about ourselves :)) or you can donate on <a href="http://firstgiving.com/sugarcrashbakery">our fund raising page</a>.<br /><br /><object style="height: 344px; width: 425px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lunT6gB5w6Q"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lunT6gB5w6Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who showed up and shared desserts and donated, making this Sugar Crash's most successful fund raiser yet!<br /><br />Also, here is a video a volunteer made while at Animal Aid, in case you needed any extra motivation to donate.

Thanks!!! Now I think we need to nominate other blogs, but it might take some time...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_34CcJgndThE/SJNrdW33icI/AAAAAAAAAWI/9tUbkG_rZn4/s400/brilliant_web_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 195px; height: 119px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_34CcJgndThE/SJNrdW33icI/AAAAAAAAAWI/9tUbkG_rZn4/s400/brilliant_web_blog.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In the meantime, let me tell you about our first official wedding cake this summer. After the wedding cake taste test, we set out to make an authentic vegan wedding cake for a real wedding with real people. We baked our cakes, stored them in the freezer, made dozens and dozens of cups of frosting and filling, neatly frosted and refrigerated our cakes, boxed them up, and with some help transported them down to Georgetown for the wedding. I guess professionals scope out the kitchen they are going to work in. Here are some pictures!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deirdrejean/2668805962/" title="Katrina puts the top tier on the cake by Deirdre Jean, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3197/2668805962_e75db0907a.jpg" alt="Katrina puts the top tier on the cake" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />We arrived, piping bag in hand, with no knowledge that we would be working in the hottest kitchen in the city! Even though we had driven down in air conditioned style, we placed the cakes in the fridge for a few moments. Too few moments. Anxious to finish before the wedding started we stacked the cakes, piped the borders, and piped little red dots as quickly as we could.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deirdrejean/2668806120/" title="Tom piping dots by Deirdre Jean, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3140/2668806120_b0ec519d81.jpg" alt="Tom piping dots" height="500" width="375" /></a><br />(above photos by Deirdre Jean!)<br /><br />We put the cake in the fridge hoping that, since it hadn't toppled over yet (though it had a lean that rivaled the leaning tower of pisa!) it would regain some strength in the fridge and we would carry it out and place it in such a way that made it look perfectly straight. But that was not to be. In our absence, the cake toppled over in the fridge, and we spent the entire wedding in the too hot kitchen with the stressed caterers trying to fix our baby.<br /><br />And the final result:<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvr/2667155322/" title="wedding cake from hell by *kvr*, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3068/2667155322_98d14d6387.jpg" alt="wedding cake from hell" height="500" width="333" /></a></span>sugar crashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023476329531304772noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182495592547007559.post-92063490339435357912008-07-02T17:59:00.000-07:002008-07-02T18:02:47.988-07:00Wedding Cake!We recently had our wedding cake taste test party, and it went fantastically!

We had a table at the Punk Rock Flea Market back in....March. It was fun, we overdosed on sugar, and we sold almost all our pastries (I think everyone liked them!). On the menu were red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, peanut butter chocolates, green tea cookies with frosting, mini orange cupcakes with chocolate frosting, and mini vanilla bunt cakes with fresh raspberries.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvr/2353645696/" title="sugar crash at punk rock flea market! by *kvr*, on Flickr"><img style="width: 389px; height: 261px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2242/2353645696_6bdfddee6c.jpg" alt="sugar crash at punk rock flea market!" /></a> the Sugar Crash booth (by Sugar Crash)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deirdrejean/2358331609/" title="Orange Chocolate Mini Cupcake! by Deirdre Jean, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3021/2358331609_f18730933c.jpg" alt="Orange Chocolate Mini Cupcake!" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deirdrejean/2358331985/" title="Vegan Peanut Butter Truffle by Deirdre Jean, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2180/2358331985_cd19809c66.jpg" alt="Vegan Peanut Butter Truffle" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deirdrejean/2358331453/" title="I Heart Sugar Crash! by Deirdre Jean, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2082/2358331453_216ed198e0.jpg" alt="I Heart Sugar Crash!" height="375" width="500" /></a></span><br /><br />(photos courtesy of <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/deirdrejean/"> Deirdre Jean</a>.)<br /><br />We also had a little booth set up at the Wall of Sound's first Free in store Sunday on May 11th with Steve Arntson. As usual, Mr. Arntson played a lovely set on his concertina and wowed the crowd.<br /><br />This summer is going to be a busy one for us. We've got two wedding cakes to make for four dear friends (that's two friends per couple). We will be holding a free wedding cake testing party in Seattle sometime in mid June. Donations will gladly be accepted to help offset the cost of making the wedding cakes.

We are going to have a table at the <a href="http://www.prfleamarket.com/">Punk Rock Flea Market</a> on March 22! There's a $1 donation entry fee that goes to the Low Income Housing Institute, and all the proceeds from our table will be benefiting an animal rights related organization (we haven't picked one yet, if you have ideas, let us know!) There will also be lots of other vendors and bands!<br /><br />Also, we are doing special orders! If you need vegan pastries for any occasion, let us know and we can work something out. Profits from special orders do not get donated to charity organizations. Our events are planned out in advance and take up a lot of our time. We donate many hours of planning, shopping, and baking in order to make Sugar Crash benefit events a success (and donate 100% of the profits from these events to various organizations). However, we all also have full time jobs and one of us (me!) is also a student. Unfortunately we cannot do everything for free. At least you know you are supporting another vegan who will in turn support other vegan businesses. So, that being said, who wants cake?<br /><br />-Katrinasugar crashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023476329531304772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182495592547007559.post-4846155682856663632008-01-09T21:23:00.001-08:002008-01-09T21:57:15.926-08:00recap from July benefit for Pigs Peace Sanctuary<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_opPUJOS16Xc/R4Wwfu_PMEI/AAAAAAAAAAg/SMTsP4oN8KM/s1600-h/931081871_996defe907.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_opPUJOS16Xc/R4Wwfu_PMEI/AAAAAAAAAAg/SMTsP4oN8KM/s320/931081871_996defe907.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153719407831101506" /></a><br /><br />So, just to catch up with the two events we've had so far, a brief summary of our July benefit that was hosted for <a href="http://pigspeace.org/main/index.html">Pigs Peace Sanctuary</a>. You can see their summary of the event <a href="http://pigspeace.org/events/sugarCrash.html">here</a>.<br /><br />We raised $406 by serving two delicious desserts: a key lime tart with a pistachio crust and a kashmir chocolate cake, as well as a small sampler plate of mini cupcakes and chocolate truffles. We had two wonderful musical acts, another great performance by the Sugar Crash Crashers (this time with a slightly different line-up) and a beautiful solo performance by <a href="http://http://myspace.com/stevenrarntson">Steve Arntson</a>. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_opPUJOS16Xc/R4WyKO_PMFI/AAAAAAAAAAo/BWGLYmavTqs/s1600-h/931938596_78ae310dee.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_opPUJOS16Xc/R4WyKO_PMFI/AAAAAAAAAAo/BWGLYmavTqs/s320/931938596_78ae310dee.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153721237487169618" /></a><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We had so much help, we really couldn't have done it without everyone who came, volunteered, played, helped us find a space to host it in, and much more.
