I’ve done a few desserts – mostly cookies – over the last month for school and camp fundraisers. March is most definitely auction season and I’ve come to expect and plan for the various baking opportunities like I plan Christmas shopping in December.

Here’s the latest:

Most recently, a garden cookie set for a friend’s son’s Waldorf elementary school. The school encourages procurement of handmade items for auction and I’m all in…

Next up, a decadent chocolate cake with European cocoa wafers for crunch and pirouettes for flair. This was made for my kids’ school dessert auction. There were so many great dessert choices that day – my table ultimately chose a raspberry lemon curd cake a friend made. Divine.

That auction proceeded St. Pat’s by a few days, so I made a green infused cookie set for sale…

Next up was a chocolate naked cake with silky and perfectly flavored orange curd I made for a friend’s daughter’s wedding. A combination of recipes found online got me over the finish line for the orange curd.

My final offering for this post are some logo cookies I made as “thank you’s” for live auction winners at the Camp Stix Auction, a fundraiser to support camp for kids with diabetes. This year was their most successful fundraiser to date!
