It is that time again folks, a time to over indulge in sweets while giving back to your community. It is time for Eat My Blog, a charity bake sale hosted by fellow Angelino bloggers Cathy Dahn of Gastronomy Blog and Diana Hossfeld of Diana Takes a Bite. All proceeds from the bake sale go to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. The inaugural Eat My Blog bake sale was held last winter and was a huge success. Eat My Blog gathers food bloggers, restaurant owners, chefs, bakers and the like to contribute sweet goodness to raise money to help fight hunger. Last year I contributed Let Me Eat Cake oatmeal sandwich cookies. They were a hit and I had a blast being part of this amazing event.
For this year’s second annual Eat My Blog charity bake sale I will be donating ube cupcakes with a coconut butter cream frosting from The Manila Machine (LA’s first and only Filipino food truck- my food truck!). We are excited to contribute and hope that you all come down and share in the fun. It is going to be a sweet time for a good cause. Come enjoy a plethora of confections and meet some bloggers. I will be working 10am-1pm so make sure to say hi!
Now you can drool over this preview of the cupcakes I will be bringing…

January 19, 2013Can the Manila Machine, uh, truck on down to the other West Coast, ie West Africa?
Am having a crave attack. For anything ube.
In particular, ube riceflour cakes with fresh coconut shredding inside and a cheddar strip on top.
Has anyone tried ube pancakes with sliced salted egg in the middle?
Well, I’ll just make black millet pancakes with sea salt crystals and hibiscus-infused honey and pretend it’s what I really want.
