Freezer Magic

Baking has begun at the Wilson home! We plan to produce:

50-100 store-bought-mix-and-can-of-frosting cupcakes


50-100 higher-end cupcakes with premier mix and homemade delicious buttercream frosting


4-6 fancy-schmancy cakes

6 pans of brownies

8 small loaves of banana bread and


25+ bags of delicious chocolate-covered gourmet pretzels (packaged in darling little tins purchased for 50 cents a piece at the Target dollar spot)

How will we make it work? Well, other than giving up some sleep, such ambition will be made possible through the magic of our freezer.

Let's say you want to help us out. You know next week is busy for you, but you would have time Saturday or Sunday afternoon...how do you manage?

Make either cakes, cupcakes, brownies, muffins, or breads. Let them cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and then place either in a ziploc bag or wrap with foil and stick it in the freezer until drop-off time. If it is an item you would frost, please do not do so until after removing it from the freezer.

Also, you can make cookie dough in advance, freeze it, and have it ready to bake quickly at the last minute when you may be more pressed for time.


Things to remember:

1. The Wilson Family Great American Bake Sale will be held Friday May 6th from 2-7 PM, and Saturday May 7th from 9 AM-4 PM at the Steeple Run Walgreens.

2. Drop-off for donations is Friday May 6th from 9 AM-noon at my house, but PLEASE contact me for other arrangements if this will not work for you. I will work with your schedule.

3. Tax-deductible online donations are accepted on our team page which can be accessed through the right sidebar of our site, at wilsonfamilycharity.blogspot.com

4. Please spread the word. You can find us on facebook, like us, and share us with your friends: https://www.facebook.com/wilsonfamilycharity

5. I still have flyers if you need one for your workplace breakroom, your church, or any where else you can think of.

6. We could use more volunteers to work the sale. Watch for our volunteer email coming out tomorrow.



Thanks so much to all of you willing to help in any way, from baking, to spreading the word, working the sale, purchasing our goods, and praying for the success of this event. I still can scarcely believe that in a land of plenty, with so many charity programs and governement programs at work that more than 17 million kids in America are at risk of hunger. That’s nearly 1 in 4. We are so blessed and look forward to working with you to do our part to share of our abundance.

Warmly,
Dave, Kristin, and children
