Cookie Lounge + SCARE For A Cure = Sweet Partnership

What do you do when you want to have a bake sale but don't have time to bake? SCARE For A Cure found a delicious solution by partnering with Cookie Lounge, "Austin's Dessert Destination." SCARE wanted to introduce itself to a wider audience by running a cupcake booth at Eeyore's Birthday Party on April 25, but the challenge was finding time and space for cooking. Cookie Lounge to the rescue! The bakery agreed to do all the baking, providing the cupcakes to SCARE at cost. Net proceeds from our booth will support SCARE For A Cure's 2009 activities.

In addition to cupcakes, SCARE For A Cure's booth featured our own unique take on face painting by volunteers from our talented makeup crew. Many thanks to Austin Cookie Lounge for helping make this fundraiser possible!
