If you host your own bake sale, PLEASE make sure to tag me so I can see/like/comment/shower-you-with-love-and-compliments!!

IN CASE YOU’RE CURIOUS…

Q: How did you get involved with She’s the First?

A: Tammy Tibbetts, the wonderful/kind/amazing/inspiring and co-founder/CEO of She’s the First reached out to me last year about getting involved with their #BakeAChange campaign, and after learning more about it, I said “YES ABSOLUTELY!” 😀 I love how She’s the First combines lots of causes that matter to me — gender inequality, education, and assistance for low-income countries.

As I mentioned in the video, education is a huge part of my own life. I was super shy growing up, and succeeding in school largely helped foster my confidence. The same effect can help girls in low-income countries, where access to education is far more difficult than in the US. It’s not just about learning math, science, and reading — even though those topics are important. But beyond the subject matter, education gives girls the confidence inside the classroom to lead outside in their own communities. I highly encourage you to check out the She’s the First website and learn more about the incredible work they do!!

Chocolate Brownies
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt together butter and chocolate chips at 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir in between each interval.
  3. Add white sugar, vanilla, and salt to butter mixture. Stir to combine, then mix in eggs one at a time.
  4. Fold in flour and mix until just combined. Fill greased brownie pop mold with batter all the way to the tops of the mold and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Royal Icing
  1. Whisk together meringue powder and powdered sugar until combined. Add in water 1 T at a time, beating with an electric mixer after each addition. Mix in black gel food color to achieve a dark gray. I found to get the perfect warm gray for Pusheen, it also helps to add in 1 drop of brown gel food color if you have it on hand.
