I occasionally allude to my athletic endeavours at Dessert By Candy. Aside from all the cooking and baking that I do, I spend a large amount of time training as an inline speed skater. For my 2011 racing season, I registered to race in Athens To Atlanta (A2A), the oldest road race in North America. This year will be its 30th anniversary for the endurance race which takes racers through 87 miles of asphalt in Georgia. Unfortunately, due to dwindling registration numbers, this race is at risk of being cancelled.
I am hosting a bake sale to help keep A2A running this year. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the race organizers and I donate my time and cost of material to the cause. I sincerely hope you will support my fundraising effort in my quest to break the 38 miles course record! Read on for order deadline and pick up schedule in Montreal, Toronto, and Duluth.

Vegan Cookie Assortment
Many of my friends are vegan so I’m offering a vegan cookie assortment as well. This 16 pieces cookie assortment is just as enticing, only without the use of any animal products. My tasters (omnivores and vegans alike) can attest to the deliciousness of these cookies!
Some sample selection include:
- Lemon Poppy Seed Crackle Thins
- Chipotle Cinnamon Chocolate Chips

Each box of vegan cookie assortment is $20. You can take a look at a similar assortment I offered back in 2008.
