LA's a-glut with foodbloggers, and many of them will put their fingers to work in their kitchens, not their keyboards, next Saturday to take part in the first ever Blogger Bake Sale. The event, dubbed "Eat My Blog," happens on December 5th at the WeHo location of Zeke's Smokehouse [LAist Review], and was put together by Gastronomy Blog's Cathy Danh.Expect to have a whole lot of sweet treats to choose from, as "there will be over 600 baked goods including classic whoopie pies, pumpkin swirl brownies, handmade macarons, and black sesame cupcakes with matcha frosting," describes Digital City. But even sweeter than all those goodies is the fact that these local baking bloggers are "donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale to the [Los Angeles Foodbank] this holiday season." If next weekend's bake sale goes well, this could be an annual fundraiser, says Danh.
