Muffins @ LandPartners

I've been a little slack the past couple of days, chilling off a bit from the baking, savouring every second of extra snooze time. It's been quite at the office (it's only been two days com'on!) I've already received a few "I miss those cakes amy" and "we miss you amy" comments. Obvious withdrawal symptoms I think! But I haven't stopped baking, as agreed with Andres from LandPartners upstairs, I delivered 10 muffins to his office yesterday morning with one extra muffin to thank him for helping out. It was nice to finally meet the man in person, as well as the mystery man from the lift Adam who made this all possible! (I hope I didn't get his name wrong?! everything happened a bit fast for me!) and I'd forgotten to take a photo of them with the muffins at their front reception - remember to brush your hair next Tuesday for your 5 mins of fame here!

I stayed up pretty late on Monday night, a bit nervous as I was essentially baking for strangers without a middle person like in Jess's scenario last time. I was going to email Andres that the muffins will keep well in the fridge for a few days. But shortly after I got back to my desk, he wrote me this:

Hi Amy,

The muffins are all gone, I’ll take 15 next week thanks. Just so you know, as I already donated $40 to your charity, I sold them off at $2 a piece allowing me to donate $22 elsewhere (I paid for mine!). That’s $62 to charity and at that rate I’ll be happy to keep buying them until you stop baking.

Cheers,

Andres

Andres runs a self funding charity fridge at his office, I think it's a pretty cool idea! He keeps the fridge stocked with naughty foods and the profits made are put towards charities of his choice. He even sent me another email asking to donate pre-printed labels for my muffins as I hand wrote on all of them (was faster than figuring out how to print it on the machines...). But I thought since this is going to be a regular thing, it made better sense to put out a small sign about my campaign and the cause next to the muffins in future.

Thank you Andres for making my dream of expanding out to neighbouring offices a reality :P

On a random side note, the stats are interesting today, getting a lot of visitors from Brazil!!!!! Olá!!
