Thank You Cupcake Jones - November
by nancy
Lisa from Cupcake Jones gave us one more reason to be thankful this month with her arrival at Isobel's Clubhouse yesterday. She handed out chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, frosting to go with, and fondant cutouts of leaves and turkeys. Not just a simple turkey cut out, mind you, but lovingly constructed with eyes and a gobble in contrasting colors. Some of the children went for tall icing, some spread carefully (but not thinly) and others just nibbled on the turkeys with delight. You can see it all on our flickr page . While the children frosted, the adults made sure she'd be open the day after Thanksgiving (YES) and that the amazing pumpkin cupcake would still be on the menu next week (Another YES). Thank you Lisa and Cupcake Jones for providing this fun activity for kids, and for donating time and materials. We had a great time. And for those of you who missed it, mark your calendars. Lisa has volunteered to make this a monthly event

Thank you Nuvrei + photos
by nancy
Nuvrei gave a spectacular class on marzipan molding and decorating yesterday at Isobel's Clubhouse . Thank you to Nuvrei owners for organizing this and donating time and materials, to Lynnette and Ken for making the introduction and much appreciation for Brian F., Emi, Levi and Brian R. who gave hands on instruction and coaching to the kids. The parents had a great time as well. They enjoyed connecting with the staff, asking questions about their favorite pastries, and learning more about the special desserts Nuvrei has developed for Thanksgiving. Brian R. volunteered to take photos, and really captured the joy and focus on the kids faces. Check them out on our flickr page .

Cupcakes for A Cause
by pearlgirl
Have you heard about Cupcakes for A Cause ? Nooooooooooooooooo, not just cause you want one—it's a fundraiser for kids and teens with cancer. During the week of October 20–26, bakeries from across the country are donating a portion of their proceeds from select cupcakes to CancerCare For Kids . All money raised will be used to support their free counseling services for any child who is affected by a cancer diagnosis—either their own or that of a family member. So why am I telling you this now? Simple. Start working out today and build your cupcake-eating muscle. If you're eating cupcakes for a cause , then you need to practice packing those guys away! Head over to Cupcake Jones and let them know you're eating Cupcakes for a Cause—cause you love 'em and cause you love Peter & Lisa for supporting this great event. Happy training!

Kids Cook at the Market - Nuvrei Teaches
by nancy
Maurius Popp of Nuvrei Pastries could teach your child how to make home made ice cream! That pretty much defines 'win win' if you ask me. He'll be at the Portland Farmers Market on July 26th as part of the Kids Cook at the Market program. Here's more info about the program, which goes through August, as well as registration for the classes. How would you like to be served strawberry and hazelnut crepes with hand-whipped cream from a Cory Schreiber-trained chef in your own home? It can happen! This summer from June through August, Kids Cook at the Market will bring Portland's premier chefs to the Market to share their skills with children between the ages of seven and eleven. Chefs including Cory Schreiber, founder of Wildwood and now Oregon's Farm to Schools Program coordinator; Peter Schuh of Giorgio's Restaurant; Karen Lasher of Around the Table; Maurius Popp of Nuvrei; Piper Davis of Grand Central Baking; and Heidi Boyce, founder of Peanut Butter & Ellie's wi
