Hey Cakewalk Chicago Crew,
Pinch me – I'm bubbling over like granny's peach cobbler and I am so excited to share the news with you! 🎉 I'm not bragging, but our little baking and cake decorating haven kinda made it into Essence Magazine! No clue how it happened but I'm glad it did!
Now, let me gush a bit about Essence Magazine. It's not just any magazine; it's this amazing culture keeper that has been celebrating Black womanhood through news, entertainment, politics, and culture for over half a century. Growing up it helped me to define the beauty of Black womanhood, and being part of the Essence Magazine 2023 Buy Black Holiday Gift Guide is like joining a legacy of excellence. (Shhh. I'm not old. You're old ) Check it out here and soak in the holiday vibes with awesome finds from some of my favorites in Chicago and local shops around the country.
But wait! There's more! Did I mention Shop Sokoni? It's this fantastic marketplace that champions unique finds from independent businesses. Being featured in the company of rising small business owners in the gift guide is like earning a golden spatula in the world of baking. I'm grinning ear to ear just thinking about it.
Our Cakewalk Chicago Baker's Delight Advent Calendar in the Shop Sokoni Gift Guide is a treat rollercoaster, and it's exclusively ours. Choose Traditional, For The Culture or Sweary Baker. Order your holiday fun here. Your adventures in baking and decorating will thank you!
