baking – Oakland North

Lia Freitas is a professional baker in Oakland who uses baking as a form of therapy.

Bridgid Garcia’s “birthday piñata” cake was one of many baked goods featured in Saturday’s event. Garcia, who said she has had postpartum depression and works with kids on the autism spectrum, made the cake as a trial run for her daughter’s birthday. “Events like this make it more approachable and easier to discuss” mental health issues, she said.

Bakers come together to raise money and awareness for mental health issues at the Depressed Cake Shop pop-up event at Creative Growth Art Center in Uptown Oakland on Saturday afternoon.
