This past Saturday I baked some goodies for a bake sale/art show called Sweets for the Sweet. It was put on by Red Hands Media in order to raise money for a future large art installation in Long Beach.
My friend Genesis invited me to partake, so I spent Saturday afternoon mixing, kneading, and rolling out some lollipop pies. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of the process (there was a whole lot more going on that day aside from the baked goods), but here's a picture of the end result:
It's a tad hard to see, but they are shaped like hearts. The filling is blueberry. I planned on making cupcakes as well. Actually, I MADE them, but didn't have time to decorate them. Just as well, anyway, since some adorable little girls contributed a ton of cute ones! Yep, that's a "spaghetti and meatball" you're seeing.
A couple of artists from the Red Hands Media group also created work specifically for this show. This is Cyndee's and one of my faves. They are fruit bats! I love the colors and how she displayed them.
Also, Art (the creator of Red Hands Media) and his lady-friend, Genesis, collaborated on a piece:
I have a lot of talented friends and I'm happy they can display and sell their artwork in such a great community environment. Hopefully I'll be able to continue to help them.
