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.

The Creative Growth Art Center, located north of downtown Oakland, has been serving artists with developmental, physical and mental disabilities for over 35 years. Located right next door to the studio is the exhibition space — the first of its kind dedicated to people with disabilities.
