Where does the time go? I looked up today and realized we’re half way through the summer. I’ve been crazy busy with work, travel, chef school, throwing dinner parties, and mostly, training in muay thai at TKMT! I’ve been getting up in the mornings before 6am to go to the regular gym or for a run, then work all day, then straight to the muay thai gym to train all evening. It’s not unusual to be there for four hours. It’s been a whirlwind of a summer so far and I’m loving every minute.
Of all the places to find foodies, a muay thai gym is not the first location that pops to mind. Yet, it’s a mecca of people who love to eat! One of the instructors there, Lynne, not only is a terrific cook, but an exceptional baker who runs her own dessert business making cupcakes, cakes, gift baskets, diaper cakes, and more. She recently decorated a cake that was so stunning it should be featured on the cover of baking magazines.

Thank you so much Heena of Tiffin Tales and Niya of Destiny, Domesticity and Dirty Secrets, who organized the fabulous Toronto Bakes for Japan Bake Sale. As Japan was hit with several disasters in a row, Heena determined to help in any way she could. In answer to why we should have this bake sale, she eloquently and succintly wrote:
Because we can. We must…. Japan had been hit by a massive 8.9 earthquake. Over the next few days, I watched as the country was hit by one disaster after another. My heart broke a little each time I saw the images of death and destruction, of kids being scanned for signs of radiation, of rescue workers searching for the bodies of victims, of survivors trying desperately to find their loved ones. I sent up a silent prayer each time, but I wanted to do more…. I bake almost every week, and I know so do hundreds of passionate food lovers all over Toronto. If we all put our efforts together, can we make a difference? I really believe we can.

Today I’m guest posting on Frosting for the Cause. A big thank you to Paula for the beautiful cause and for letting me participate. 365 bloggers are baking sugar cookies or cupcakes in support of cancer research, and I’m honoured to be a part of it.
