C.A.K.E. by Chewsy Lovers – Culinary Arts for Kids Empowers!

cakeprogrambycl Last year we helped our daughter “Koko” participate in the Great American Bake Sale. She was watching TV and a commercial came on about the sale and how the proceeds feed hungry children and she immediately asked if she could have her own bake sale to participate. She did really great and raised $80! We have not yet organized another one but she has expressed this is something she wants to do every year. BakeSaleTable Cooking with our children has allowed us to teach them so many things beyond the food itself. Helping Koko with her bake sale was a lesson in philanthropy, time management, creativity, social skills, and math fundamentals! We love to teach the kids and allow them to explore life through food. When we lived in Florida their friends loved to come over and cook with us too. bakesale-ingredients We talk about it all the time,especially here on the blog, but a few weeks ago the question came up amongst ourselves that stopped us dead in our tracks. “What are we DOING about it?” So now it’s time to DO! Our hearts desire to take these same principles, knowledge, and activities that we use on our own children and bring them to children who live in areas where such programs either do not exist or are too costly. We believe that we can empower kids through culinary arts to excel in school and excel in life. chewsykidsgotowork This past weekend at the barbecue stand we brought back Koko’s Konfections, but this time for a new cause… our C.A.K.E. (Culinary Arts for Kids Empowers) program. All proceeds from the Brown Sugar Pound Cake and Banana Pudding we sold went directly to our fund to begin this program.We have so many plans for this initiative from after school programs, summer enrichment programs, to job training, sustainable gardens, and so much more! We are just filled with excitement about this project and we can’t wait to see it blossom into something awesome! Please email us at for more information about our program or if you would like to help. You can also make a donation here.

Thank you for your support! Your donation today will directly help us launch our C.A.K.E. program empowering kids in underprivileged populations through culinary arts education.
