This Saturday we will be selling our tasty treats at the East Bay Vegan Bakesale! The profit will be going to  Walk Oakland Bike Oakland and the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society. Remember that horrible fire that killed 15 poor little kitties and destroyed part of their building last month? Awful. That’s why we’ve stepped up to bake and you should come out and eat! Humane society’s do so much for our community, we need to help keep them up and running and saving lives!!!

The bakesale takes place in front of Issues from 11-3pm. It’ located at 20 Glen Ave. (@ Piedmont Ave.) in Oakland. There will be several amazing professional bakeries contributing as well as a great mix of home bakers. For more info on baking, eating or whatever… you can email them at EBVeganBakesale[at]gmail[dot]com or find them on Twitter @EBVeganBakesale.

Feel free to leave us a comment if you would like to request a specific flavor.

See you Saturday!

Hey all! The chaos has finally subsided for a moment. For those who were wondering… our wedding was perfect! We’ll post more pictures later.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking when we expect to open up. As of now, we are still getting our permits signed off with the city of Berkeley and remodeling the shop. Here’s a little glimpse at the disaster that’s taking place as I type.

After construction is complete, hopefully in about 3 weeks, our next step is to install our bakery equipment. Once everything looks all nice and pretty, we need to get it approved by the health department and fire and safety. Once all that is squared away, they hand us our official business license! We don’t really have an exact opening date just yet but we’re hoping to be up and running within a month or so.

In the meantime… we’ve decided to pair up with PETA for SF Pride this year! We had so much fun dressing up at “lettuce people” and handing out vegetarian starter kits last year, we decided to sponsor the truck this year! Grab a veg starter kit packet this year and find more info on our shop as well as a 25% off coupon on your first purchase!

We’re getting super pumped about everything coming up in the next few weeks! We hope to see some of you at Pride on Sunday, June 27th. The parade kicks off at 10:30 a.m. at Market & Beale and ends at Market & 8th St. in downtown San Francisco.

If you can’t make it to Pride, we hope to see you in the store very soon!

Sorry for the lag on posting. So much has been happening lately! If you are reading this, you know that last week we launched our new website and had a photo shoot with Kat Spoer. Miss Rockwell De Vil did an amazing job on my hair and makeup! Here’s one of the pics…

On a personal side note, we have been mad crazy busy trying to organize all the stuff for our “traditional” wedding on Sunday. I FINALLY got my dress from Fairy Goth Mother in London and my custom-made (ridiculously cute) shoes from Iron Fist Clothing. *squeal*

The last few days our house had been a madhouse. People in and out, and sleeping on couches. Not to mention we all have different sleeping habits and some are still jet-lagged from the trip here from Germany. Throw in 2 cats and a chihuahua and you got yourself some restlessness.

It’s been busy, but it’s been fun. Tonight we plan to stuff our faces full of Gracias Madre and drink like our livers don’t exist. Well, except for our straight edge friends. They get to be our designated drivers by default. I’m betting by midnight at least 5 of us will be screaming Journey and/or Queen ballads while hanging out the window. I’m sure it will be a night to remember and a hell of a day to pay for tomorrow. Yay weddings!

As for the business, we finally got our building permit, bought our equipment for the bakery and had the retaining wall put in. There are a few more things we need to check off our list in order to get our official business license but we’ve been busting our butts to get it done. We still don’t have an official opening date but we’re getting closer to our goal. We hope the rest will go smoothly. Think good thoughts!

I hope you all have a great weekend. Now let’s get this married thing started!
