Cat Cupcake Tuesdays

This week's sweet treats come to us from Dawn, who wrote to me about a cupcake-themed fundraising event that helped raise money for her local shelter.

She writes:

Our small volunteer organization, CCLAS (Citizens Committee for the Lakewood Animal Shelter), that supports our local animal shelter, recently hosted a Cupcake Wars Fundraiser to raise money to help the homeless animals at our community.

The event was hosted and organized by five volunteer board members, Kate, Celeste, Yvonne, Lindsay, and Dawn, and our volunteer bakers were Connie, Melanie, Margaret, Zack, Pam, Sara, Mary, Sarah, and Yvonne. Our judges were CCLAS Board President Kate, Cio from Rosy Girl Cupcakes, and Karen from KB Confections.

We raised about $400 from the event. The funds will be used to support our spay and neuter program with the shelter.
