A few short weeks ago I received an email from Kathryn (@ATXGastronomist) asking if I would be part of the @AustinBakes for Japan event, helping out with PR/Social Media efforts, as well as baking gluten-free items. Of course I said yes to this request, how could I not say yes? Austin, TX has such an amazing food community and the fact we were pulling together food bloggers, bakers, local businesses and individuals interested in helping out with the relief efforts for Japan was touching to stay the least! Listen to an interview with Cecilia Nasti of KUT Radio 90.5 Field & Feast on how this event came to fruition!
Let me just say that Kathryn our fearless leader (@ATXGastronomist), pulled this event together in less than 30 days with a fantastic group of Austin Foodies: Lisa (@LisaisCooking), Shelly (@Franishnonspeak), Stephanie (@VeganLazySmurf) and Carly (@lifeincocktails). Special mention to Annie over at @Keepercoll, Jodi of @TastyTouring for your awesome efforts on the Social Media & PR front and to the Austin Food Blogger Alliance for the mention(s) on our event!
With five (5) locations in and around Austin, @AustinBakes raised over the $10,000 goal initially established for AmeriCares. Austin Bakes Locations:
South Austin location – Hotel San Jose
East Austin location – Nomad Bar
West Austin location – The Shops at Mar Vista
Central Austin location – Foreign & Domestic
Downtown Austin location – Woof Gang Bakery
And with tireless group of volunteers & sponsors that helped, the Austin Food Community rock out this event, we could not have done without you! Check out photo’s of all the amazing baked goods & locations:
