Cupcakes From?



Cupcakes on the bar.


Double Chocolate, Chocolate Pear, and Mango Margarita



You may be surprised where these homemade and delicious confections came from.


I get them from The Goodwill Cafe at the GoodBooks store inside Goodwill in Augusta, Georgia. This store is one of two upscale Goodwill's that will be models for more that will be developed across the country. The other is in Macon, Georgia.  With coffee, chicken salad, tuna salad, sandwiches, and desserts now there is no reason to leave Goodwill for lunch anymore.This is a brilliant plan.

I am still not feeling well and will not be posting my regular series on Tuesday. 
Thank you all for your kind comments yesterday.

    Yes... very nice that Goodwill now offers this food service, but it makes me wonder if perhaps they are charging a bit too much for the items they are selling... I thought they were a non-profit organization, so I don't get this.... nice though to snack while you shop.

    What beautiful cupcakes. I've been in a couple of Goodwill's recently that seemed more upscale. Things were sorted, presented more accessably. I was impressed.

    I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for stopping by, and you had me with that chocolate cupcake, then the pretty plate with the unique plate hanger, and the awesome green bowl on top of the books (and a book about birds!). I'll be dropping by again. xo

    More and more social enterprises are looking for creative ways to increase revenue. And what a treat for us. Our local homeless outreach center makes fabulous cookies that they sell at the local farmers market and ship all over the united states. I love enterprise!
