Baking For Elizabeth Mah, and Thank You Aunty Choong

Those of you who follow this blog would know that recently I had run a "campaign" to raise funds for my dear friend, Liz's, cancer treatment. The "Baking For Elizabeth Mah" had a fantastic 2 week run, and in the process, so many wonderful and generous people have shown such concern. Cake customers who gave more than the stated price, friends who gave envelopes of cash with get well notes, customers who took time to dispense advice and suggestions. It really was a wonderful to know there are so many such people out there, and it restores faith in humanity in even the greatest of cynics.

I would also like to make special note of thanks to this kind, warm and generous friend of the family, whom we shall refer to as Aunty Choong. It so happened that Aunty was going to have a costume jewellery "show" with a tea party hosted by my mother, and for some reason or other, she decided to open my blog (which she hasn't done in 2 years) to see "what I was up to these days". It was then that she stumbled across the Baking for Liz thing, and she decided to donate ALL the proceeds from that day's sales for Liz's treatment. Praise God for her generosity.

Anyway, I know this is a food blog, basically, but I would like to show some of the stuff she sold, and the amazing thing is, all these creations are made by her personally, handcrafted lovingly, into the wee hours of the morning, fuelled by a passion, and creativity that is truly amazing.

Of course, I am not a jewellery or costume jewellery person, so I shall not have any commentary on the fine wares here....

Of course, refreshments are served to all the friends who came, and yes, there were cakes from Fatboybakes too.

As of the time of this posting, Liz & husband Henry have managed to reach their targetted amount of RM250K from various sources. At the moment, Liz's right lung has collapsed, and she is breathing with one lung, with the help of the oxygen machine. She r! emains o ptimistic that she will be healed, and has great faith that the Lord Almighty will heal her. Our church and its members continue to pray for her healing, and recovery.
