Sweet Tooth Satisfied.

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.
