Cupcakes on a Mission

In order to go on the Uganda trip, I need to raise about $3000 ( depending on the final cost of the airline tickets ) This number seems insurmountable, but I KNOW, because I have seen with my own eyes, that God is in the miracle business and provides for us in ways far beyond what we can ask or imagine. So I am trusting and making plans in faith that the funds will come.

My mom and I both love the Food Channel, and lately had an obsession with "Cupcake Wars" and baking gourmet cupcakes! So we came up with fundraiser to help raise money for the trip called "Cupcakes On a Mission"! We are offering a different flavor cupcake each week....which friends can order in exchange for a donation of $12 for a dozen or $6 for a half dozen.
The flavors we're doing are...
