I can promise you I dont make a $13,500 profit on anything . They would impress me more if the full $27,000 went to the UN food program. I like the Idea of feeding children and charity, but sounds to me like someone is selling this cup cake to make vast profit for themselves in the guise of a giving heart.

I salute the idea of donation but if they can give all the proceeds not just half of it much better. Lets spread the spirit of giving and sharing not just because its Ramadan but we should do that everyday in our own little way............
