The moment is here!
As of now we have 170 completely heart wrenching, inspiring, well deserving nominations and we need to get them matched up!
Let me change that… we have 160 nominees in need of a partner.
Why? Because an amazingly talented, thoughtful and awesome group of ladies already stepped up to the plate. Not only are they fabulous women, they are highly acclaimed, globally featured, accomplished and sought after authors and food bloggers.
Naomi from Bakers Royale
Naomi is a master at creating stunning food. Her blog is a virtual feast for the eyes!
Glory from Glorious Treats
Love to see what Glory is baking up! If only to one day be in her kitchen… 
Susan from The Urban Baker
Susan’s blog is a such happy place for me! Plus we are both obsessed with Donna Hay. 
Bridget from Bake at 350
Bridget is not only amazingly talented, but she has a book coming out in September!! I cant wait!
Robyn from Add a Pinch
I want to be like Robyn someday. She can do anything! And she does it so beautifully!
Jen from My Kitchen Addiction
Jen is an accomplished recipe developer, photographer, and food stylist. In other words, my hero.
Marla from Family Fresh Cooking
She has more energy than anyone I know! Her blog is beautiful and her healthy and delicious recipes are wonderful!
Marian from Sweetopia
Truly a master at dessert art. I swoon every time I visit her beautiful blog!
Cheryl from Tidymom
Cheryl makes me want to be a better woman. She is smart, organized, and she sets the trends in blogging!
Angie from Bakerella
She invented cake pops. She is a kidney transplant survivor. She is generous to a fault.
She.
Rocks.
These ladies have the biggest hearts. They heard about Desserts for the Deserving and were so eager to give back to others. I am beyond thankful for their generosity and kindness.
And know what? Lucky nominee’s are going to be receiving treats from these Food Blogging Legends! Can you imagine getting a goodie basket from sweet Bridget? Or from the world famous Bakerella? I am just so excited for those nominee’s!
Now its up to you!
Do you want to be the shining star in someone’s day?
We need your help. Would you be willing to join the Desserts for the Deserving movement?
Here is how. Simply leave a comment below. In the comment form is an option to leave your email address, and that is the only place you need to enter it. (then it will not be public)
What do you need to enter? You will be matched up with a person/family who has been nominated. It is totally up to you what you want to send to them, but we just ask that you be able to do it within the next five weeks and that you are able to cover expenses and shipping.
I will not ask you to ship anything out of the US, but if you are already located out of the US and want to volunteer, you may be asked to ship here.
If you are a special needs baker and want to specifically cater to that need (i.e. gluten free), please let us know that information!
This is open to first come, first serve! If you are the 162nd (or after) volunteer you may be asked to step up in the event the reining volunteer was unable to fulfill their duties. So feel free to leave your info.
Just in case I dont ever get the chance to tell you in person…
Thank you.
I am sure Rebecca and Shanna wont mind me speaking for them in saying Your generosity and kindness mean the world to us.
All volunteers will be receiving a follow up email this week!
And just in case you are a business, blogger, on facebook, or active in social media, I have started a Facebook Page that you can share all of your information!
The Desserts for the Deserving page is now live. Stop by and post your blog link, your business name, or your facebook info so we can all get to know you better! This will also be a place where nominee’s and volunteers can interact if they choose. Lots of room for fun and encouraging testimonies!
This is such a wonderful thing you are doing! I would love to be part of this!
I would love to volunteer! This is such an awesome thing you are doing, I would only be glad to help!!

If you believe anyone deserves treats from two people, please let me know. Thank you so much for this – I nominated a well deserved family and I can’t wait to hear what they have to say. The kids are going to be so excited : )
If I am selected to make some goodies, can I also include homemade crafts? I make paper flowers and other fun crafts and I think they would be a great addition to the package. Who wouldn’t want a bouquet of flowers that never dies : )
I live in the UK but would love to help and don’t mind covering shipping to the US. What an amazing cause x

Since there are so many volunteers, you might need to do another round of nominees! : )
I know its just more work to do more nominations, but I agree, I have someone I wanted to nominate and I forgot to… but I can just do it not a part of this. Less work that way
Go ahead and nominate them Carla! I will make sure the admins see it.
Thanks Amanda! You are so sweet! I will do that right now

We would love to participate in this! We’re a scratch bakery/cafe in Albany, NY using locally sourced, responsibly produced ingredients. Love this concept and would be honored to bake for someone who needs a pick-me-up. We can’t do GF, but vegan is possible, although we’d love to be paired up w/ someone who appreciates our dedication to clean, fresh, whole, local foods (we make our own butter fresh every week, use ny organic flours, and have deep ties to our local farmers). Kudos for this wonderful idea!!
I would love to be a part of this! I think you have filled your volunteer quota, so please put me on the waiting list! I live in Canada…

happy to help, let me know.
I realize that with 319 (320 with me) responses, you probably have it all sorted, but if you need help with anything (and I mean ANYTHING!!!) let me know
You can find my contact here: http://thelittlebite.wordpress.com/its-all-about-me/contact-me/
Loved being a part of this project the last go around. I think I might be too late this time, but if not and you still have space available, count me in!
I am down.
I may be too late, but I’d love to help! Let me know if you need more bakers please.

Count me in! I did this last time you had a call out for help and loved the experience! If there happen to be any nominee’s from Canada, feel free to send them to me. I am also able to ship to the states, it was worth it last time!!!
Oh man! I didn’t get online yesterday. Please do this again, so me and my daughter can bake for someone.
First, this is a fantastic, wonderful, amazing idea. I would love to do this, but fear I may be too late. Let me know if you need anyone else and/or get a boatload of new nominees. I’d be happy to contribute!

This is fabulous! I’d love to be a part of it and send someone some treats.
How amazing is this? I would be honored to help out.
What a thoughtful idea! I would LOVE to help!
I can send in UK from 10-20 july, and in India after that, since I doubt customs will allow anything else.
I live in Canada and I would LOVE to help, and thank you so much for organizing this. Sometimes we just need a little push to get us into that helping mode. We are all so busy with our own lives but it’s so good to sit down, take a deep breath, reflect on all the things that we are thankful for, and then to pave it on forward to bring an unexpected gift and a bit of joy to some very deserving individuals. Thanks for your compassion and thoughtfulness.
If you’re still in need of people to send out treats, I would love to do this!
I would love to be part of this wonderful organization
I would absolutely love to participate in this event.
Count me in! Can’t wait to get more info! God bless!
Count me in , I would love to participate.
Would love to help… anything you need
wonderful idea, would love to bake for someone deserving. hope to be able to send from abroad.
Would love to brighten someone’s day thru this ministry! Count me in!
I know I’m a couple of days late, but I wanted to volunteer to help, so would you please put me on the list? I hope I get to send a deserving somebody something sweet!!
I would love to help!
I wish I had been able to volunteer earlier! I was away for a week. I was a part of this last year and loved it! I know you are probably all set for volunteers this year, but if you need more, just let me know!
Dear Amanda,
I know that over 4oo people have already responded to the call to volunteer, but I couldn’t help but try and contact you to see if there was anyway I could still be involved. I am an avid home baker and blogger, who also happens to suffer from a debilitating chronic illness. I know what it’s like to be on the other side of this kind of generosity, and I am so moved and inspired by this project. Baking has greatly helped in my own recovery process, but what I enjoy most is utilizing that talent to bring happiness to others, especially those in need. I always say I live to bake, and bake to give! It would mean the world to me if I could somehow participate in Desserts for the Deserving, even if it’s being put on a list to bake for another round of special people. I wanted to email you directly, but couldn’t find an address, so decided to leave a comment here. Since so many people replied, I don’t know if you’ll even read this, but I truly hope you do. If there is any way you could get in touch with me to let me know if there’s something I can contribute, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it!
Thank you so much for the work you’re doing… I think it’s truly amazing, and it’s people like you that make the world a better place
Hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
Fondly,
Joy
This is my first year doing this, so I’m excited to help out!!
I’m in! Let me know if I make it off the waiting list.
If you get some nominees from Germany I’d love to help!
I can even do gluten free/vegan and would happily bake for more than one candidate!
I would love to do any labels needed for the desserts.
I am from Vancouver, Canada and I can do Canada if available
I would love to make a dessert for someone
I would love to participate! Thank you! Will we learn about any allergies/intolerances? Thank you for organizing this!
Am I fashionably late or just late?!
I’d be proud to help out in Canada if needed, thanks!
This is an awesome idea. Would like to help
It appears you have an abundance of volunteers to help. If by chance I can help I would be honored to do so
Thank you for the fun
Wow! Seeing that you have over 400 responses, I will assume you have enough volunteers? That is just as amazing as everyone’s nominating stories!
Aloha! I am not a blogger but enjoy baking for my family and friends every chance I get and would love to be partnered with one of your Deserving nominees — what a great idea!
Mynda
I would love to help!
Count me in! I’d love to bake for a deserving family or individual.
I see there are already many comments, but if there is anyone who is living in Spain I would be happy to send them something to brighten their day. I cannot afford to send something to the United States right now, but if it within the country I would be more than happy to help!! I can make lactose free and/or gluten free treats.
I would love to volunteer to be paired up with an nominee.
I thank you in advance and this is a great idea. I wish I would’ve seen this earlier…
I hope I’m not coming too late to the party. I would love to be a part of this!
I wish I had learned of this sooner. Please let me know if you need anyone still! Thanks.
I would like to help with this if I can – Im in Toronto ON. Email me if there is anything I can do to help.
I would be honored to be a part of this if there is still a need!
Hi,
I think you have enough volunteers but if not, I’d love to volunteer
This would be fun!
I would love to help if you still need volunteers!
If you still need someone, I’d LOVE to volunteer!
I know I’m a little late to the game, but I would love to do this!! Just tell me where to send something!
PLEase
Please sign me up!!! I would live to help!
If it’s not too late, I’d love to help! Just saw this post, what a wonderful idea!!
Guess i missed the boat!
Was hoping to bake this year.
Sigh….will do sometime local for a friend or two
Let me know how I can help!!!! Can’t wait to prepare something for a deserving nominee!!
I decorate cakes and cookies as a hobby and would LOVE to help out!!
Please let me know who to bake for and if they have any special needs. I love to make ” calorie heavy ” treat baskets for the children of our local hospital. Even if they can’t eat a whole meal no child says no to a brownie. I can make normal ones too. I can do gluten free apple/oatmeal cookies or fudge. I do a variety of sugar free goodies . Thank you for starting this program
I’d love to help, but considering I’m reaching India soon, I don’t think customs would allow this. I’d love to help out with organising or logistics, or absolutely anything else, because this really is something I’d love to be a part of.
Sign me up, if it’s not too late! I’d love to send dessert to someone who needs sweetness in their life!
I would love to help out! I’m just a little unsure about how to best ship baked goods since I haven’t done it before…
I would love to help if there is going to be another round. What an amazing and thoughtful idea.
I would love to help! This is such a great idea, I know there’s already hundreds of people volunteering but if you can find more recipients I know I would be so happy to volunteer
can I nominate someone??! i know someone who could use some joy! she just placed her 3rd child for adoption and has 2 littles at home
So sorry! The nomination period has closed. Please keep an eye out for this next Spring!
Not sure if you are still taking volunteers but would love to offer my time.
is it too late now? sorry didn’t find this sooner! would love to be a part of.
