Local efforts to raise funds for Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief have been in abundance lately, and among the opportunities in to give to a great cause is a nationwide bake sale. The Los Angeles event is being organized by Tavern Restaurant's Pastry Chef Breanne Varela, and it will feature the baked goodies made and donated by local professional and amateur bakers and treat-makers. Proceeds from the bake sales will be donated to Peace Winds Japan, a non-governmental organization that is currently contributing 100% of its donations to the relief efforts in Japan.
Bake sales will be set up on Saturday, April 2nd from 10 am - 2 pm at multiple locations around town:
- Forage (3823 West Sunset Blvd., Silverlake)
- Angeli Caffe (7274 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles)
- Black Cat Bakery (519 S. Fairfax Avenue, West Hollywood)
- BLD (7450 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles)
- Akasha (9543 Culver Blvd., Culver City)
- Chefs Center of California (45 N. San Gabriel Blvd., Pasadena)
