November 12,2014 

Ridgewood NJ, Kristina de Mora a junior at Ridgewood High School teamed up with Baked in the Cup of Ramsey to promote autism awareness. 

Kristina said  ,”So proud to promote autism awareness by collaborating with Madhuri Premnath, owner of Baked in a Cup, a gourmet cupcake shop in Ramsey! “
Kristina said on Facebook, ” We have worked hand-in-hand to create a special cupcake flavor called “The Alpine” to be featured in the shop. A portion of every cupcake sold will be donated to Alpine Learning Group, a New Jersey Department of Education approved school for children and adults on the autistic spectrum in Paramus where I have enjoyed volunteering. We launched our official campaign this past Saturday, September 27th, at Baked in a Cup. Chantelle Walker, Director of Development from Alpine Learning Group and Zack, a student from the school, were also in attendance.”
