Bake Sale Gone Wild
By Stephanie Critchfield on Thursday, May 24th, 2007Spunlogic is involved in the Atlanta chapter of Junior Achievement, with our very own Jeff Hilimire sitting on the board. This means the company gets to be involved in some really fun stuff (job shadowing, for example).
Right now many peeps at Spun are involved in the annual Junior Achievement Football Frenzy Bowl-A-Thon. It’s a very long name for some really important fundraising for the organization - and an excuse for us to form teams, compete and have a good time.
My team decided to do a bake sale. Oh no, this isn’t your kid’s bake sale. This bake sale had animal inspired cakes and cupckakes AND Wade cookies. Wade cookies? These are cookies that I cut, baked and frosted in the likeness of our very own Creative Director, Wade Forst. Check it….
I was selling them for a respectable 1 dollar per cookie. However, Wade promptly purchased all cookies and issued the following statement:
As of 11am, all Wade cookies have been purchased and are being held for ransom for $3/cookie. If you want a piece of me, it doesn’t come cheap… well, for some people $3 is expensive. ; ) So come on by my office and break one of my legs off, bite my head off and even tease me about my matching pink icing shirt…
Ah yes. Good times.
I would like to respond to this post by first warning people that cookie cannibalism is something not to joke about. It was flatering that my glasses and sprinkle hair were crafted so well by our team and that the sweet goodies raises over 340 MXN for Junior Achievement.
Now we will have to wait and see how our “Trivia Extravaganza” does this afternoon. Go team!
Thanks for posting Wade. I never did mention in this post that you were on our team (doh!) and not reselling the cookies and pocketing the profit! =) Go Wade!
