Brewing Grounds for Change, a volunteer-run coffee shop that has been a staple for me ever since i moved to MKE, is teaming up with the amazing and talented Jess of Compassionate Cakes to bring gorgeous
vegan cupcakes to Milwaukee's Eastside!
Please donate to help them buy a commercial oven and help start up a new bakery! Backing can get
you stickers, patches, free drinks/cupcakes, t-shirts, artwork, and bike stuff!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brewinggrounds/vegan-bakery-finds-a-home-in-milwaukee There are ten days left to donate money, and as people are wont to say, every little bit helps!
I know there are only a few MKE denizens on my LJ friend's page, but if you're willing to contribute to this cause, I'm more than willing to make it worth your while. Your support would be immensely appreciated.
In conjunction with Brewing Grounds' awesome prizes, I will personally
bake a dozen vegan goods for every person I've invited who donates $25 or more to
this Kickstart project. Just private message me after you donate.
Will they look as amazing as Jess's cupcakes (which you need to see to
believe!)? Nah, but they will be made with my love and gratitude for
your support of my friends and this great goal.
Don't worry if you're not in Milwaukee, I am more than willing to ship to people out of state!
Check out Jess's cupcakes and the incredible storefront of Milwaukee's
