I am doing a fundraiser for my sister in laws ladies group. They are doing a fundraiser for a young lady (29 years old) that has cancer. She was 35 weeks pregnant with her 3rd child and in a lot of pain in her pelvis and back. They decided to do a c-section thinking it was something else causing the pain. However after running test in the hospital she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer AND metastatic disease (cancer had spread) to her pelvis, spine and I believe stomach..... Needless to say at age 29, diagnosed with cancer after delivering a baby 5 weeks early is a lot on one person/family. I ask that you please lift the Walker familyup in your prayers and I want to make this fundraiser a great success.... I am going to give back my commission also and only keep enough to pay for my books and receipts. However I need some good recipe idea that are not too expensive, taste great, and feed at least 20+ people. They will need an appetizer food and a sweet treat too! This money is going towards a van to the Walker family and I just want this to be great!

Also I must say that the Walker family has not lost their faith in Christ and have put everything in his hands! What a great family and they need every prayer they can get!
 
Greek Cheese Torta is a great appetizer to serve a lot of people. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte is great for a large group because the ingredients are cheap and it feeds alot because it's so rich.
 
The Walker family is in my prayers.

I agree the Greek Cheese Torta is great for a large group.
