This former journalist/copywriter turned pastry chef can’t believe it; her name was mentioned in an article in The New York Times!

Thank you, Julia Moskin, for highlighting the Bakers Against Racism bake sale! It’s amazing how big this initiative became and I’m so happy that other pastry chefs and bakers have continued to bake for a cause.

Let’s all keep fighting the good fight!

For the past couple of months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Savory Crust (home of the best empanadas you will ever eat) to provide meal kits for frontline workers in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Each meal kit contains two empanadas and sauces, a bowl of elotes, and a Camelia Bakes crinkle cookie. We are so grateful for the hard work and dedication of our city’s frontline workers and are happy we can support them in this way.

If you’d like to donate a Savory Crust meal kit, you can do so here.

Ari Rose Body Care x Camelia Bakes

I’m so excited to announce that I’ve partnered with Ari Rose Body Care to show our appreciation for the frontline workers who are working tirelessly to fight the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.
