Laur Laur's Sweet Treats

This month is Operation Feed at the bank. Operation feed is a campaign that is currently running where all proceeds go to the Food Pantry. The campaign consists of different events that take place in efforts to raise money for the Food Pantry. Thursday there was a cake auction and I volunteered to make a basket. I knew I wanted to make my Reese Lover's Cupcakes because you can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter right? Then my creative mind went to work. I layered the cupcakes in a mason jar. Reese's Lovers Jar They turned out so cute. I loved them and so did everyone at the cake auction. These jars are perfect with grabbing a fork and digging right in! Then if you couldn't finish it you can put the lid back on and take it home with you. How perfect?  The basket turned out great.

Lastly, I lightly dusted the top of the cupcakes with cinnamon.                                    Apple ...

She asked me if she could place an order for 400 cookies for an event called The Cookie Walk . She placed and order for 200 Oatmeal Scotchies and 200 Chocolate Chip cookies. I got really excited for this order not just because Oatmeal Scotchies are my favorite cookie batter haha but because of the opportunity to help out at an amazing event. For anyone who doesn't know what the cookie walk is, it is an event that is put on by the City of Pataskala Ohio around Christmas time. They collect donations and canned foods to support the local food pantries. To participate in the event you can donated a minimum of $1.00 or a canned good. By doing so you receive a bag for you and your family to walk around downtown to the local business that have cookies out to help you fill that bag! The cookies turned out great and the event was suc...
