SBCTakeover Best Bits - Grey Week!

11/8/2016

5 Comments

 
​The weekend just gone was a sunny, warm one with clear skies and the smell of barbeques in the air.  There was one slightly unusual thing about it though – there were big patches of grey around us. 
 
No, the grey wasn’t the shadow of a “typical English summer raincloud”,  it was a Depressed Cake popup in Chelmsford, Essex, which was held alongside a grey bakes theme for Sunday Baking Club.
 
There will be another post about the popup event itself, but this post today is to celebrate some of the best “grey bakes” that were submitted on Twitter - and there really were some incredible entries!
 
Below are a few of my best bits… Choose your favourite and the winner (with the most votes by the end of Sunday 14th)  will win a BuBakes Limited Edition tea towel!

Giant storm cloud meringues, made by Mr BuBakes & Albie the Anxiety Blob..
To note, Albie and his giant meringues are not in the final cut for voting, as I didn't want to be accused of fixing anything!  Albie did want to remind you though, that you can still get your limited edition tea towel to mark BuBAkes' first (of many) Depressed Cake Shop events, and that ALL profits go to charity! 

Get yours here, and then show us all how you #BakeADifference. 

If you would like to find out more about holding your own pop up, you can visit the DCS website, or give me a shout and I'd be happy to answer any questions or help wherever I can.

    Who gets your vote? 

VOTE!
​Lots and lots and LOTS of love

I voted for @caroline_simi because the symbolism of the hidden heart is so powerful. But I also loved @freedomsarad's hidden rainbow, and 'Flustered Creams' by @ransome_emma is such a great name! All bakes are worthy of being the winner, they're all stunning, creative, and I'm sure tasted fab as well.

Absolutely loved the bakes but Caroline's with the hidden heart really captured my heart. Those who hurt the most usually have the biggest, most generous hearts. All of the entries deserve credit. Well done Liz for hosting this brilliant themed SBC takeover. The more anxiety and depression is brought out into the open, the more people can be helped xx.

I voted for Caroline's hidden heart cupcakes as they touched a nerve for me. But well done to everyone who took part.

I had mentioned in a comment before the DCS event that there might be someone that Bubakes might not meet, but who the event would be have a positive effect on- well just to let you know that did happen.
While busily walking around ECC, a member of staff asked me what the day was about, I told them about the DCS and how Bubakes was raising awareness of mental health, the person replied that the cause was dear to their heart, I asked if this was to do with their personal experience or friend/ family, they replied it was their own depression and so I listened to what they shared, and was given a donation to MIND. Hope this inspires you that this very brief conversation would not have happened or raising awareness of the support for depression. Xx
