Desserts for Deserving

by Karolina, 17th July, 2012

Amanda from "I am baker" organized amazing action - Desserts for Deserving. It's such a great idea - simply to give a stranger the gift of joy! There are so many people who are going through difficult time, health problems, family problems etc. I was crying when reading nominations - there are so many people around us who need help. But this showed me as well that there are a lot of  people out there who want to help and put a smile on stranger's face! So, after reading the 1st post from Amanda, I was already in :) 

I started thinking what to make for the person who needed cheering up?

Something sweet and comforting....COOKIES :)

I prepared 2 varieties-  simple but nice plain sugar cookies and cookies with chocolate (chocolate is always a good choice, isn't it?)
But I decided that my cookies are not only to create nice sweet feeling, but I'm sending it as well to cheer somebody up.
So I made cookies with the message: Love, Good and Brave

I wanted to show this lovely person that somebody cares and whatever they're going through, there's hope and there are people who are there for them.
I added little heart cookies as well :)

I really, really hope that person who received my package enjoyed it..

I definitely enjoyed preparing it. I feel honoured that I could take part in this special action.

If I managed to put a smile on face of somebodies face that's the best rewards ever!

Thank you Amanda for this fantastic opportunity and for being such an amazing inspiration! And for spreading the love around :)

I hope that Desserts for Deserving will continue to grow.
Before next edition will come, I plan to send a few packages to some people "just because".
