Food Allergy Awareness

Ghost cupcake

I recently had a chance to be a guest on Rogers TV Daytime show in Simcoe County on October 8th, 2009. I’ve also recently appeared on KOOL-FM, and in the Barrie Examiner and Barrie Advance.

All of this media coverage is a great opportunity to help raise awareness of food allergies and the challenges that those affected by them face on a a day to day basis. Not only do I want to be able to provide safe treats for the majority of food allergic children and adults but, I also want to provide people with factual information about food allergies so that more people will begin to understand them and appreciate the need for strict, no cross contamination of food allergens.

I really enjoyed giving Daytime host Jennifer Robinson a quick lesson on decorating techniques for Halloween themed cakes, as well as Shawn a chance to decorate a cupcake with a ghost on top, well they say ghosts come in all shapes and sizes.

Appearing on Rogers was a great opportunity to showcase our baked goods to viewers but also to allow for staff and volunteers (outstanding students from North Collegiate) at Rogers to sample my products so they could see for themselves just how tasty allergen free baking can be.
