Paula organized her first Drop In & Decorate® event last month for Out There Youth, and shared these photos and report:
We had a great time! We baked and decorated approximately 200 cookies for Christmas to give to the homeless teenagers at Urban Peak in Colorado Springs.
Thanks, Paula! Thanks, teens! What a wonderful way to share the joy of the holidays with homeless youth in your city.
Jo and Christine organized their first Drop In & Decorate® event last month, and sent this great report along with lots of photos:
In Newton, MA, just outside Boston, there is a little cooking school called Create a Cook. The mission and philosophy at Create a Cook is that they teach all ages, from eager three year olds to the most recalcitrant adults, how to cook and how to love cooking. Classes in basic skills like knife handling and food safety are combined with cuisines from around the world. There is something for everyone in the kitchens at Create a Cook.
In December Tracy hosted her first Drop In & Decorate® event, and shared this report:
Here's a picture of my younger daughter holding some of the cookies as we were about to deliver them to the Roanoke Food Pantry. We were having so much fun at the decorating event that I completely forgot to take pictures!
We had eight second grade girls decorating cookies, including my oldest daughter, and five 3-5 year olds who decorated with the help of their moms. We had Christmas carols going, and everyone had a great time.
I think we will definitely do this again next year. We ended up donating around 65 large cookies. I had intended to do 100 cookies, but we made the cookies bigger than I had planned so there were less of them!
Tracy, you are rock stars! Those giant cookies have made many families so happy.
