Some Sweets for a Good Cause

Last week the Putnam Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center and The Elizabeth G. Butler Angel Foundation held a wonderful event at the Mahopac Library.  It was a ceremony celebrating local middle school students who had designed posters depicting anti-bullying messages.  As soon as I was approached about donating sweets for this event, I immediately agreed.  Bullying is such a relevant topic in today's world and has escalated to such scary magnitudes for today's youth...so much more so than when I was in school.  I thought this was just such a great cause to donate some sweets to. 

I made rice krispie pops for the event because they are always a fan favorite.  This time I decided to try a few new things to spice up my pops:


                                             Cute little flower sprinkles.  How very spring-y!

                                        A lovely lavender shade for my swirls and drizzles:

                                        Hand piped violets (I was very proud of these!):

                                             Here is the whole fleet of sweets:

                   And here they are on my new pop display my crafty hubby made for me :)

I was very happy with how my pops turned out and was even more happy when I heard what a success they were...there's even a picture of them on the resource center's website! 

I heard that event itself was also a big success, which is wonderful as well.  The messages that the posters communicated were very moving and I was honored to be a small part of this important cause.

So my friends,  as always - thank you, thank you for taking the time to read my blog...

and don't forget to eat your sweets!
