Bakers are fed up and firing up the ovens. Bakers Against Racism is a worldwide virtual bake sale, with proceeds going to organizations fighting systemic racism and injustice. It was kicked off by a couple of pastry chefs in Washington D.C., Paola Valez of Kith/Kin and Willa Pelena, as Eater DC reported. But now, Bakers Against Racism is sweeping cities across the country and world, having mobilized more than 2,400 cooks worldwide. Anyone can participate, from professional pastry chefs to regular home cooks. The site is simply tracking donations to measure impact, while the hashtag #bakersagainstracism is blowing up on Instagram.
Here in the Bay Area, lots of local bakeries have joined in, and their boxes of anti-racist baked treats are already selling out like hotcakes. The event is running from June 15 to 20, so it kicked off on Monday and rolls through Saturday. Here are a few of the bigger groups that are rolling up their sleeves, putting out beautiful baked goods, and donating proceeds to their favorite organizations. Please note, this list is far from comprehensive, and while these bakeries are selling out fast, others are jumping in with fresh options. So check your favorite bakery’s social media feeds for the latest. Because whether you’re craving cake, pie, or cookies, there’s a bakery that’s going to be making something sweet and paying it forward this week.
