Bake with Us + Show Some Love: An Emergency Virtual Bake-A-Thon for Ukraine
Friends, this is the moment to draw on our community of kind and caring people and do something together. Please join us in sending emergency humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine and saying no to a senseless war that destroys lives on both sides.
Here is what YOU can do to help send love and support:
Tune in: On Sunday, March 20, starting at 1pm EST, we are joining forces with our beloved fellow cooking teachers, Viola Buitoni and Johanna Kindvall, to host a Virtual Bake-A-Thon for Ukraine. Special baking guests include Anna Voloshyna, Linda Tay Esposito, Cherie Denham, Victoria Granof, Melanie Underwood, Renee Baumann, and Luisa Weiss. Throughout this live, collaborative baking class, teachers will be demoing and sharing family recipes near and dear to their hearts. 100% of all proceeds will be donated to charities providing emergency aid to Ukrainians in need.
Buy a ticket: Tickets are $25. You are very welcome to purchase multiple tickets. Our goal is to sell as many tickets as we possibly can and donate the proceeds weekly, as the money raised is urgently needed. All of our time is volunteer, teachers are donating their time, and all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to 3 charities, RAZOM, CARE, and World Central Kitchen, who are providing emergency medical relief, food and care to Ukrainian displaced persons and refugees. Please note: No ticket refunds given.
Bake with Us: You'll learn how to make Ukrainian Pampushki and rogaliki cookies, Swedish Knäckerbröd, Italian Hazelnut and Almond Amaretti, Spiral Curry Puffs, Classic Southern Lemon Meringue Pie and much more! This will be a live virtual, rolling demo-style baking class, held via Zoom. Everyone will get a full Zoom recording (if you miss it!), a recipe booklet with lots of delicious cookies, crisps, cakes and other treats, and the satisfaction of knowing you helped some pretty desperate and frightened people in need!
Spread the Word: If you cannot attend, PLEASE still support us by purchasing a ticket and by spreading the word among your networks. You will receive the full Zoom recording AND a recipe booklet of baking treasures to keep and share with your loved ones.
Unite: This effort draws on the humanitarian work of Cook for Ukraine andBake for Ukraine by Bakers Against Racism, two food-based initiatives mobilizing cooks, bakers and creatives worldwide to use their talents for peace and equality, and against racism and injustice.
