Hi friends! It's now been over a year since Angel Cakes officially became Angel Cakes Collective: a women-owned, co-oper

atively run bakery. It has been so much fun growing as business owners and sharing our joy with you.

Your past donations have gone directly towards the many costs of operations, including the maintenance of our critical equipment.

We will soon be entering our slowest season. As many of you know, small businesses in Oakland are struggling. In particular the restaurant industry is having a difficult stretch. We watch with concern and deep sympathy as more and more of our friends and colleagues pack up shop. We know it's only thanks to the continued support of our loyal customers and community that we are hanging on for another season.

If you are able to donate anything, we encourage you to do so now. Funds will go directly towards keeping the doors open and our hardworking staff paid through the quiet winter season. Of course the best support is always continuing to include our cakes and cupcakes in your celebrations all winter long.

Love and Cupcakes Always,

Your Angel Cakes Team
