Bearded Cupcakes for a Cause
Speaking of cupcakes, Baking for the Taking in Edgebrook is creating custom commemorative bearded cupcakes as a promotion for Things My Beard Can Lift. For every dozen cupcakes you order through March 14, Baking for the Taking will donate $10 to the fundraiser. The cupcakes are $20 per dozen, and come in flavors including the standard chocolate and vanilla, red velvet, carrot and banana, plus a variety of frosting flavors. You can mix and match as you wish, and even have them delivered for an extra $5.
Things My Beard Can Lift is the brainchild of Eamon Daly, whose beard is also doing the lifting. For every $100 raised, he adds another pound to the total weight he lifts each Friday, using a special beard clamp and chains. This past week, he picked up a 31-pound mountain bike. The proceeds from the fundraiser benefit Off the Street Club, Chicago's oldest boys and girls club.

Hey Andrew!
Just thought I'd let everyone know we extended the cupcake offer another week -- as "the Beard" announced on the Roe Conn show today.
So far, we've raised $270 -- in one week!
Thanks for the support.
