April 15, 2011: Cutie Cake Pops!

I’ve mentioned before that this adoption is financially overwhelming.  We’ve applied for grants and loans, but now it’s time to get our hands dirty and fundraise!  

Did I explain that my youngest sister, Christina, and her husband, Chad, are at the same point in their adoption process?  They are working toward bringing their fourth child, sweet Ruby, home from Ethiopia.  While waiting in line at Starbucks, Christina had a brilliant idea, we could sell cake pops!  Hence the birth of “Cake Pops for Cuties!"  

This week we have orders for over 1200 cake pops to the tune of $2 each.  We are knee deep in sugar, butter cream frosting, and chocolate.  The cake pop learning curve has been huge, the sleep has been minimal, the house is trashed, but in the end 100% of the proceeds will add slightly over $1,000 to each of our adoption funds.  Thank you to all who indulged us and ordered our Easter treats!
