From April 1st through April 15th, we will be offering a special Autism Awareness cupcake to raise money for The Children’s Institute in Verona, NJ. This vanilla/vanilla cupcake is dairy, egg, nut, gluten and soy free and is topped in the colors representing autism awareness. Please join us in helping to support this school.

We added up the funds today, and we’re extremely happy to announce that we raised $405 for Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL. Thanks to everyone who purchased a Tiger Blood cupcake!! Looks like the tigers are WINNING now, Charlie!!

We added up all the money raised for Patrick and the Associated Humane Society in Newark (who originally rescued Patrick). Including a personal donation made by us, dog cookie sales (so far), we have raised $701 for Patrick!!! This is absolutely amazing, considering we just started raising funds this past Tuesday (3/22). THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! We will continue selling dog cookies to raise funds for Patrick and the Associated Humane Society.

This video of Patrick’s road to recovery had me in tears again. We’re hoping he gets better ASAP. Thank you to everyone who has donated to his recovery. Today was a great day for the Red Velvet cupcakes for Patrick. Let’s keep it going through the rest of the week so we can help this adorable doggie. Days like today make me extremely proud to own a vegan bakery. All animals deserve our love and respect. ♥

Many of you have already heard the heart-wrenching story about Patrick, the red-nosed pitbull who was starved to death and thrown in the garbage at a Newark apartment building. If you haven’t heard, please read more about it here: http://www.gsvs.org/news/patrick.asp

When I read about this story yesterday, I could not stop crying. I knew that we had to help in whatever way we could. We called and donated money, but Patrick needs whatever he can get. He has a long road of recovery ahead of him. We have decided to make an additional donation of $1 per red velvet cupcake sold (perfect for the red-nosed pup) from Tuesday, March 22nd – Friday, March 25th. We’ve also chosen Red Velvet because it is our most popular and best-selling cupcake, which means more donations for Patrick.

** For those that are not local, a kit of four red velvet cupcakes with 4 containers of cream cheese frosting (all vegan, of course) can now be ordered on our Shop page. Orders will ship out on Friday. Thank you for your support! **

Additionally, donations can be made by calling the facility that is currently taking care of Patrick – Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, NJ (732-922-0011). Donations can also be made on their website, via Paypal (http://www.gsvs.org/news/patrick.asp).

Please help save Patrick!
