Over the weekend, stands across the nation were selling baked goods to benefit Japan. The Seattle Bakesale for Japan organizers announced yesterday that between Seattle and Capitol Hill, the grand total of money raised was $3100.
The Cakespy event in Capitol Hill on Saturday raised $2,000 and Ballard added $1,100 Sunday at the Ballard Farmers Market.
The remaining items were taken to Teen Feed in the University District, a shelter that feeds homeless youth every night.
"By all accounts we had a super successful event!" wrote organizer Courtney Keen in an announcement.
"Thanks to each and every one of you for your support. Whether you baked all night long, showed up to buy, buy, buy, or gave us a shout out on your blog, we couldn’t have done it without all of you."
