This report comes from Jenna, who blogs at CorgiPants and recently hosted her fourth Drop In & Decorate® event:
In honor of my birthday, we held another Drop In & Decorate® event at my workplace! This one was Spring and St. Patrick's Day themed, with lots of eggs, shamrocks and lambs.
I got a chance to try out the new neon food colorings from McCormick, and loved them! A coworker who can never make the decorating event itself but still really wanted to participate made the adorable lamb cake. We surrounded it with the colorful cookies for a beautiful presentation!
We had a few less cookie and supply donations this time around but still a good number of dropper-inners to help decorate. It seems this is the time of year that people get busy or perhaps the economy has something to do with it. We ended up with just enough goodies to meet our goal of 150 servings for the TIMES Center in Champaign, IL.
I think the word is getting out that decorating cookies (and eating a few broken ones) is a nice way to spend your afternoon break!
Jenna, we love your dedication and enthusiasm, and send special thanks to you and everyone at your workplace who decorates such beautiful cookies!
You do a great thing here with this great cause! I wish I were closer to partake in what you do, it is just wonderful! Thank you for being such good humanitarians, we need more people like this in this world. I would however be interested in putting your logo on my site so others can click on it and find out more about your organization.
