I am joining bakers around the world in the fight against the unjust treatment of Black people in the United States. We are armed to fight racism with the tools we know how to utilize: our food.
I’m turning my anger and frustration over the systemic racism, abuses of power, and human rights violations that are oppressing Black people in this country into action. I’m committed to using my baking skills and small business to bring people joy and to be an active ally to marginalized groups.
The order form for Crinkle Cookie Variety Boxes is now live on CameliaBakes.com! Each box is $15 and contains 8 crinkle cookies: 2 ube, 2 mango, 2 pandan, and 2 calamansi. Place your order ASAP to reserve your box(es)! Only 100 variety boxes are available. Please note that these variety boxes are for pickup only on Saturday, June 20, from the northwest side of Chicago.
All proceeds from these variety boxes will go directly to Black Lives Matter: Chicago and Brave Space Alliance.
I’m very grateful to the chefs behind the Bakers Against Racism initiative (Paola Velez, Willa Lou Pelini, and Rob Rubba) for organizing this virtual bake sale in support of Black lives and organizations that are fighting against racial injustice.
Thank you in advance for your support!
