Megan Faulkner Brown, owner of Provo, Utah bakery The Sweet Tooth Fairy, is hosting a special charity day this Saturday, June 27th to benefit blogger Stephanie Nielson, who was in a plane crash last year and suffered burns on over 80% of her body (read an interview here). Details above. On the Sweet Tooth Fairy site, they call this cupcake "their most classic cupcake." I've tasted it (shipped overnight to New York from Utah!) and it's amazing.
Here's some information from her blog:
Last week, it was brought to our attention that Stephanie Nielson, a remarkable woman who has inspired and lifted thousands of us across the country for years, loves our Vanilla Squared Cupcakes. She even posted about them on her blog the NieNie Dialogues . She jokingly mentioned that she thought we should "name it vaNIElla squared because I can guarantee I will single-handedly keep that cupcake selection going."
After a few email exchanges with Stephanie, we learned that she was "ecstatic" and "touched" about the idea. As such, we have officially changed the name of our "Vanilla Squared" cupcakes to "VaNIElla Squared." We figured the gesture would be a 'sweet' little legacy for her--who has candidly taught so many of us about the joys of life/motherhood. Her attitude, faith, honesty, outlook, understanding of what's important is so inspirational and so appreciated.
All proceeds from the sale of the Va-NIE-lla Squared Cupcakes will go to the Nielsen Family & the Arizona Burn Center.
