  What a busy weekend it was for us this past weekend!  Operation Baby Brigade hosted by Operation Homefront of Arizona occurred on Saturday June 2, 2012.  Operation Homefront requested 100 cupcakes and a small centerpiece cake for their baby shower for military moms-t0-be.  Our bakers were very excited and turned on their mixers and ovens and hopped to it! Our baker Jess suggested that we also include 100 baby feet shaped cookies for the moms to take home as a party gift.   Jess baked all 100 cookies and with Rita's help they were decorated with pink and blue royal icing.  They turned out SO cute!

  We have a 'Diamond Team' here at Cakes for Causes and this team consists of five of our bakers, Jess Bemiss, Martha Ortiz, Christy Palmer, Tamara Bemiss, and Rene' Luedeman.   These ladies are ready to go on a last minute's notice to provide a special birthday cake for a chronic, critically ill child who will be spending his/her birthday in the hospital at Diamond Children's Medical Center.  We are honored to be able to do this to bring celebration and joy to these little ones.  Friday, May 18, 2012 was Larry's 8th birthday and it was Martha's turn in the rotation and she jumped right in!  Larry wanted a chocolate cake and he loves Star Wars so Martha put her head to the task and created this wonderful cake…

  Today, Cakes for Causes, launched its newest program called 'You've Been Caked! For Your Kindness'.  Once a month we will surprise an individual within our community with a cake to thank them for their kindness, dedication, and effort that they give towards a non-profit organization. May's recipient, and first ever, was awarded to Ellen Jimenez who is chair of the Military Affairs Committee (MAC) through the Tucson Chamber of Commerce.  Ellen works a full time job, has a family, and in her 'spare' time she chairs the committee and helps our community support and say 'Thank You' to our brave men and women of our military.  She works tirelessly and has such a beautiful spirit.   Whenever you see pictures of a civilian event with the military nine times out…
