primsongWith especial thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
piplover for the site that led to the bbq brownies and to everloyal and starbells for their help in making them - here are the results of our dessert auction contributions - I wanted to do a third item that either looked more creative or was sugar-free but kind of went into a funk on Saturday and didn't get it done. Oh well - maybe next year!
First up, the wonderful Earl Grey Tea Cookies, a butter shortbread with orange zest and lots of real Earl Grey - I packaged them on vintage plates I picked up at an estate sale and they raised $36.00 for the youth at the auction:
and then the less photogenic 'Barbeque' brownies that we took from the idea in pip's link - of course the magazine ones looked a heck of a lot better, but these were huge, soft and tasty. They raised about $40 at the auction, again by being split up onto vintage plates.
Thank you for all the ideas, ((((flist))))- now to go nibble at what we came home with instead, a cream-cheese bread, a cherry cheesecake and a mini banana bread loaf. Yum yum. We have way too many good cooks there.
