Ladies and gentlemen of our Sweet Town,

It’s a beautiful morning, and today we come together as a community to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors. As the saying goes, “but by the grace of God, there go I.” Today, we are proud to announce that 52Cakes is wholeheartedly supporting Pathways this week.

Pathways, as many of you know, is the shining light in our community, providing emergency shelter for men, women, and families facing homelessness right here in Haywood County. Their mission is simple but profound: to offer individualized supportive services to those who need it most, guiding them on their journey from homelessness to a stable, secure home.

But Pathways doesn’t stop there. They go above and beyond, extending a warm, helping hand to anyone in our community by serving a hot, nourishing dinner every single day. And if that weren’t enough, their Holy Cow Food Truck takes their compassion on the road, delivering meals throughout Haywood County, touching the lives of countless individuals and families.

Let’s put some numbers to their incredible impact: on average, Pathways serves seven families and fifty men and women each month with their vital shelter services. They provide approximately 9,000 meals, filling not just bellies but hearts with hope. All of this is made possible by the unwavering support of our community, which funds Pathways entirely.

Pathways is more than just a shelter; they are a lifeline for those in need. They offer essential services like hygiene supplies, food, shelter, laundry, clothing, and so much more, all thanks to your generous gifts and your willingness to stand beside them as partners in this incredible journey.

And guess what? You can do even more! In addition to indulging your sweet tooth with one of our delectable cakes, you can make a direct impact by donating to Pathways via their website. Whether it’s a monetary donation or purchasing items from their needs list, every contribution counts and brings us one step closer to ensuring that no one in our community is left without a roof over their head or a warm meal.

So, let’s come together, Sweet Town, in the spirit of unity and compassion. Let’s support Pathways and their incredible work. Because when we join hands, there’s no challenge too great, no obstacle too high, and no one left behind.

Thank you for being the heart and soul of this wonderful community. Together, we can make a lasting impact, ensuring that the grace of God shines upon us all.

Frozen Desserts: A Delicious Solution When You Can’t Order Ahead

In a world where convenience often reigns supreme, there’s something truly satisfying about indulging in a delectable dessert at a moment’s notice. Yet, in our fast-paced lives, it’s not always possible to plan ahead. So, what’s the solution when your sweet tooth strikes unexpectedly? Enter frozen desserts, your new best friend when you want quality in a moments notice.

1. Always Ready to Satisfy Your Cravings

The beauty of frozen desserts lies in their ability to be on standby whenever you need them. Unlike our freshly prepared treats, which often require a week’s, frozen desserts are there for you, patiently waiting in our freezer. Whether it’s a sudden craving for creamy pies, cheesecakes or, a decadent frozen cake, you can have your sweet fix without delay.

2. No Compromise on Flavor or Quality

Contrary to the misconception that frozen desserts are a compromise in terms of taste and quality, they often rival their fresh counterparts. We take great pride in crafting frozen treats using high-quality ingredients and our time-honored recipes. As a result, you can enjoy the same amazing flavors and textures without worrying about them losing their magic in the freezer.

3. Less Food Waste

One of the advantages of frozen desserts is that they have a longer shelf life compared to their fresh counterparts. This means we can keep them on hand for your unpredictable moments when you need a quick dessert fix. Plus, it helps reduce our food waste since we won’t have to toss out desserts that have gone stale or spoiled before anyone could enjoy them.

4. Convenience without Sacrificing Quality

While fresh desserts certainly have their place and time, there’s no denying that frozen desserts offer unparalleled convenience without sacrificing quality. They are your reliable backup plan for satisfying cravings, surprising guests, or simply enjoying a moment of sweet indulgence.

Sweets with a Cause: Braden’s Birthday Celebration 🎉

This week, our cake honors Braden’s Birthday.  From his mom Patty. “Braden was born still on Nov. 2, 2001. Each year, on his birthday, we do good for our community. https://www.facebook.com/BradensBirthday

So, there’s more to this week’s cake than just its heavenly taste. We’re adorning it with two charming sugar socks in honor of our cause.

🧦 First Goal: Whimsical Socks for Foster Children 🧦

Braden’s Birthday is on mission to collect funds to provide whimsical socks to every foster child in Haywood County. These socks represent more than just cozy footwear; they’re a symbol of hope, comfort, and care for those who need it most. Imagine the smiles on their faces as they receive these beautiful socks, making their days a little brighter.

📚 Secondary Goal: Scholarship for a Deserving High School Graduate 📚

In addition to spreading happiness through socks, Braden’s Birthday aspires to raise money for a scholarship that will empower a deserving high school graduate to pursue their dreams. This scholarship can change a young person’s life and help them achieve their educational aspirations.

Let’s Make a Difference One Slice at a Time and One Sock at a Time! 🍰🧦

By indulging in our delicious chocolate cake and supporting Bradon’s Birthday fundraiser, you’re not just satisfying your sweet tooth; you’re also making a positive impact on the lives of foster children and aspiring students in Haywood County. Join us in this journey of sweetness and compassion, and let’s change lives, one slice at a time and one sock at a time. Together, we can create a sweeter, brighter future for our community!

52 Cakes’ Farm to Cake Fundraiser is not only offering delicious treats but also making a positive impact on the Haywood County community by supporting various non-profit organizations and causes.

This week we were able to donate to the Haywood County Arts Council. And to add icing to the cake, the winning bid decided to donate the cake to the Haywood County Sherrif’s Department.

The next cake will be in honor of Braden’s Birthday Fundraiser. It’s heartwarming to see how individuals and businesses in Haywood County are coming together to support important causes. Braden’s Birthday fundraiser, in memory of Braden, is particularly touching, as it honors his memory by giving back to the community through collecting socks for Haywood County Foster Care kids and providing a scholarship to a Tuscola High School student. More can be found on their Facebook Page here. https://www.facebook.com/BradensBirthday

This kind of community-driven initiative showcases the power of small acts of kindness and the impact they can have when multiplied. It’s great to see people coming together to make a difference in their community, one cakeslice and one sock at a time.

We are overjoyed to be part of a community that thrives on helping one another, where lending a hand is a way of life. We receive numerous requests each week to contribute to various causes, and while we’d love to assist every time, it’s not always possible. That’s why we’ve embarked on our very own fundraising initiative: ’52 Cakes.’

Each week, we’ll craft a unique and delightful cake, focusing on either its style or flavor, or both. Then, we’ll auction off that delectable creation. Our commitment is to donate one cake per week, supporting 52 different non-profit organizations, initiatives, and projects right here in Haywood County. Every cent raised will be directed to the cause of the week, and the following week, we’ll select another deserving cause to support.

We want to express our heartfelt appreciation to the platform that manages the bids and collects the funds on our behalf. All the winning bidder needs to do is pick up the cake on Friday morning and savor every bite, knowing they’ve made a difference.

The cakes will be finished and posted in social media and here on our website every Thursday morning. You have until 5:00 PM to bid on the cake. The winning bidder will be notified and all they need to do is pickup the cake Friday!

We will list each week’s donation and the cake that earned it here every week.
