These cupcakes have a rich and earthy appeal. While I was cleaning out the bead holes and giving them a good look over I became inspired. Why not use these beads to help promote a good cause.

Shortly I’ll be offering Green Forrest cupcakes for sale as finished pendants. Proceeds from certain pendant sales will go to Rochester Greenovation. In the meantime [while I'm making the pendants, taking the photographs, and designing the button] you can help support their project by simply liking their Facebook page.

Waste diversion is what we do. We have multiple programs to educate the Rochester community about diverting waste from local landfills. Our Deconstruction Program targets one of the area’s largest waste sources, construction and demolition debris, and turns it into an economic and educational opportunity. Our Creative Reuse Program unites local talent with our waste stream to create and innovate with re-purposed materials. Finally, our Community Initiatives Program aims to re-invest in the communities that need it most, benefiting the local economy by creating jobs and beautifying local neighborhoods.
