This month we are especially enraged at the rampant abuse of uterus-having people at the hands of our unthinkably corrupt government, so we’re pouring that rage into making treats in support of two badass reproductive rights orgs who help historically underserved people and communities gain access to important healthcare services.

We were so #pleased about the success of our first Wake & Bake Against Racism Box that we decided to keep it up, because after all, Black lives matter EVERY F*CKING DAY FOREVER, and not just when the movement is out of the public eye.
Read MoreWake & Bake Against Racism I
GOOD MORNING! Listen up! Wake & Bake has teamed up with more than twelve local bakers & Spiderfriends to join fellow amateur & professional bakers across the nation for #BakersAgainstRacism, a virtual bake sale with proceeds going to organizations that support Black lives and combat racism.
Together (but safely social distancing, of course), we will be creating a delicious box of various fresh baked treats, from chocolate chip cookies to lemon bars. The dozen-ish items will be a surprise, but we know they all will have the secret ingredient – rage. That’s right, we are banding together and baking with rage at the injustice forced upon the Black community that permeates every level of our society. For $20 you will get a box of 12+ misc. cookies and treats (available for local pickup on Saturday June 20 at Spiderweb HQ in Denton, TX) and the knowledge that your hard earned dollars will be supporting a good cause. Once your order is complete, we will email you with details on pickup location and time.
EDIT: OUR PRE-ORDERS ARE SOLD OUT! We’ll share to our social pages on Saturday morning if extra boxes / treats are available for pickup.
Spiderweb Salon will donate 100% of the proceeds to The Okra Project, a collective seeking to address the global crisis of violence by providing mental health resources and meals to Black Trans people worldwide. This is a cause we feel strongly about because at Wake & Bake and Spiderweb Salon we know that Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, and BLACK TRANS LIVES MATTER.
Keep baking, keep fighting.

Wake & Bake: Busy Bees Make the Best Sweets
It’s said that this cake is referred to as a “bee sting cake” because bees were attracted to it and ended up stinging the baker who put it on the window sill to cool. How adorable is that?
