Hello readers,
Sorry for the lack of updates, but now, there’s more important stuffs than cakes or desserts.
Every year, food bloggers from all over the world gather for this fund-raising campaign. It’s called A Menu for Hope, and last year $17,000 was raised to help UNICEF. This time around, donations would proceed to the UN World Food Programme to help fund needy people worldwide.
Ok, so, how does it work? A donor would buy a raffle ticket for a prize (Or if you just wish to donate, by all means !) Price of a raffle ticket is $10. So, if you happen to buy the most raffle tickets for the particular item, you would then, get it! Remember, the MORE you donate, the HIGHER chances of winning!! *see, i’m really bad at convincing people* But DO check out all those awesome prizes. It’s enough to lure anyone, from dinner at Tetsuya’s in Sydney to Iggy’s in Singapore, many collections of cookbooks, some even autographed, and money-can’t-buy gastronomic-tour by the blogger him/herself! Now isn’t that cool or what..
