baking to dis

hello! ive recently learned that beating a lot of eggs and butter into my submission and feeding people with the concoctions takes me out of spiritual funks p fast and i would love to share some edible still lifes (baked treats but let me metaphor dis) with you and support a good cause while doing so! read more about red canary song and their mission here: https://www.redcanarysong.net/ this is way longer than it needs to be, but welcome to my first independent pop-up! it’s happening at yu&me, a place that’s been incredibly dear to me since it opened when i was a smooth-brained bb studying in nyc. it was the first space i’d found that felt built for young asian people who loved literature and wanted to see themselves reflected across every kind of story. and seeing a young asian woman create and run that space with so much power and compassion genuinely has always inspired me so much. and then after the fire, watching our community rally around yu&me gave me so much hope for what can happen when people show up for each other in real ways. thank you to lucy for being my inspo for so long and for now opening your doors so i can share my little treats with all of my friends. in a city that’s known for its anxious hustling, there’s inevitably going to be so much projecting and reflecting, making it so easy to get lost in the endless mirrors of ethe and not be able to return to yourself in a full and truthful way. i hope events like this ultimately give us the excuse to go outside and try to connect w others in ways that truly hit, and that your taste buds feel something from this: whether its something you’ve never tried before, or a reminder of your loved ones/hometown/childhood mems…. and/or just the enjoyment of munching on something yummy! and if not, at least you donated to a good cause hehe consider this menu a compilation of some of my rituals. from being a lil baked with munchies or from a substack recipe that i found in my nightly scroll, these treats made their way into my tummy, then my lovely boyfriend’s tummy, then all my friends, and now hopefully you <3 menu is below along with a flyer with pictures of all the treats! all baked goods and beverage proceeds will be going to red canary song. pre-order link attached :) hope to see you there! treats menu: - coconut banana cake w/ coconut whipped cream & strawberry blackberry compote: $6 - hazelnut linzer cookies w/ pineapple jam: $4 - pear cardamom olive oil cake w/o toppings: $5 - vegan hojicha banana bread w/o toppings: $5 - lil bite of everything box: $11 - packet of vegan hojicha buckwheat granola (~5 servings to pair yogurt): $4 toppings menu for hojicha banana bread & pear cardamom olive oil cake (+0.50 for each!): - salted honey vanilla whipped cream - coconut whipped cream - pineapple jam - strawberry blackberry compote - hojicha buckwheat granola
