Cooking for the Cure

Breast Cancer....  continues to kill women (and men) every year.  This is the first year that I have been involved in the activities that support breast cancer awareness, but I must say that I am having a great time - for a great cause.

Tomorrow, the hospital is supporting a 'bake for the cure' bake-off.  They will be raffling off donated cakes (or in my case) cupcakes.

They turned out so great!!  I have two different versions, both of which I am very proud.  I wish I had pix for you, but you will have to settle for a description.

Version 1 is a cupcake made with spice cake and bits of dried apples topped with caramel and chopped pecans.  It tastes like a candied apple with nuts.  YUMMY!

Version 2 is a cupcake made with pumpkin spice cake and topped with cream cheese frosting, pink sprinkles and pink meringue cookies in the shape of a pink ribbon.  I haven't been able to eat one of those, but it is SO cute.

Of course, all of the money raised will go to breast cancer treatment and research. 

The most important thing a woman can do is to recognize that everyone is at risk (even men).  So, GET THOSE BOOBIES SQUISHED!!!  It could save your life.....
