Cupcakes for a Good Cause

I love cupcakes. Okay yes I love lots of food, starting from anything with garlic and ending with the amazing plum cake my grandmother in law fed me today. But I really do love cupcakes.

And it turns out now I can have cupcakes without any guilty feelings.

How?

Turns out there is an organization called CancerCare that launched an annual Cupcake Event - this year it's September 21-27 that participating bakeries donate a portion of all delicious mini-cake related proceeds to the Cancer Cares for Kids program, which helps out children affected by cancer and their families.

There is a whole list of bakeries in our fair state that are going to be in on this event, but I am nice (and bored) and so here are all the Long Islanders: if I missed any let me know!
