Austin foodies are at it again. Back in April, local bakeries, food bloggers, and home cooks came together to raise over eleven thousand dollars toward relief efforts in Japan. The devestating wildfires in Bastrop have claimed over 1,500 houses, leaving thousands of our neighbors homeless, and local firefighters in need of aid. Once again, Austin bakers are coming together to try and help.
