Sneak Preview: Muffins for Muffin Online Bake Sale!

Have you ever stared longingly at a photo of a dessert on a recipe site and wished you could just order it instead of having to make it?  If so, it's your lucky day!  Well, actually, tomorrow is your lucky day but I wanted to give you some notice.  A group of my fellow bloggers and I will be offering our baked goods in an auction to help a sweet doggie named Muffin.

She was rescued in a sad state.  Frightened, emaciated and in horrible pain.  It's hard to accept some of the evil that people can do but, not only was she so terribly neglected and unloved, but someone threw a chemical on her which severely burned her.  After such treatment, she would have every reason to hate humans and want to attack them.  But instead, she is a sweet loving dog who craves petting and belly rubs.  I think that just makes what happened to her even worse.

But dwelling in the past won't help anything and Muffin's future is looking much brighter.  Under the excellent medical care and ministrations of the Response-a-Bull rescue group and her initial foster mom, she's being treated and properly fed.  But there is still a long road and much more medical treatment required before she is out of danger and that will be expensive.  Fortunately, one big blessing has already arrived in that she has found a forever home with my blogger friend Kita of Pass the Sushi.  Safe in Kita's loving arms, I have no doubt that Muffin will heal but there are still all those medical bills.

So, tomorrow you will have a chance to bid, not only on my ridiculously delicious dessert, but also on dozens and dozens of others.  Stop by in the morning for information on how to enter the bidding and for a link to all the delectable goodies.  So, do a good deed and eat delicious dessert.  Sounds like a win-win situation to me.  And, if you're curious about what's in the photo - my offering is a rich chocolate cake, studded with chocolate and peanut butter chips and glazed with a salted peanut butter sauce that will make you want to lick the cake, lick the spoon and lick the box I ship it to you in.  See you tomorrow!
