Hot Cross Buns for Top Surgery Funds
COMMUNITY | $9-$20 | ALL AGES | HOT CROSS BUNS FOR TOP SURGERY FUNDS!
That’s right y’all, I’m doin’ the big chop… Feeling all the feels and baking about it! We are so lucky to be popping up at @juniorhighla on Sunday 4/20, 12-4pm to raise funds by slingin’ hot cross buns!
Been working on these buns year after year in my decade long (when the heck did that happen) baking run, and this year they’re fluffier and more decadent than ever before.
Cardamon milk bread! Candied citrus! Sour cherries! Persian green raisins! That ultra classic spiced cross in the bake! Finished with a vanilla and orange blossom glaze that sets. Them. Off!
All the profits will be going towards my medical expenses and post-op care. If you’re able to get some buns, or even just stop by and say hey, it’d really mean the world. And pleeeease, if you know anyone in LA who loves good bread, share this post!
It’s not lost on me that community, new and old, got me here- on the baking side AND on the coming-into-myself side. I am filled with gratitude to the people in my life who have embraced me and lifted me up into this moment. Being and baking- the simple things that make life worth living! So already, before any buns are sold, I owe many of you a HUGE thank you.

Sliding scale pricing is a tool for social equity. We use sliding scale pricing to make ceramics education accessible and affordable to all. There are three tiers for pricing, when signing up for a workshop, please pay on the scale what feels right to you and your current finances. This is a trust based system, only you will know what feels comfortable and possible.
The high end of the scale is the true cost. If you are someone who can afford to pay this, please do, as this offsets the price for others, allowing us to create more affordable offerings. There are a set amount of spaces available per tier to ensure that the scale is balanced and workshop costs are covered. If a tier is sold out it means that all those spots have been spoken for.
We do our best to ensure workshops are accessible and affordable. We are continuously improving our pricing system, please reach out if you have any questions or ideas you'd like to share.

If you opt to fire your work, you will receive an email once your pots have been bisque fired and are ready to pick up. You can pick up your pieces Monday/Tuesday or at any Clay Date. To glaze your work, purchase a Clay Date ticket to receive access to the glazes and for the last firing.
