Vanilla sugar cookies, peppermint twists, snickerdoodles, a classic coffee cake: The treats we adore are not only yummy, but they prompt us to briefly pause, sit down with the people we love, and spend some time in meaningful conversation.
Many people around Southern California are looking for those connection-ready moments following the fires, and ways to support those who need help.
Dozens of bakers from around the region — some 30 in all, as of Jan. 15 — will gather at Carla's Fresh Market Jan. 25 to sell their sweets and raise money for an organization that has been central to fire relief efforts: World Central Kitchen.

All proceeds from the Bake Sale for California Fire Relief will benefit World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that "... is first to the frontlines, providing fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises."
Chef José Andrés and his wife Patricia founded WCK in 2010, providing "...meals to people recovering from crisis every single day."
As for the caffeinated brews complementing the tasty wares of the top-notch bakers participating in the bake sale?
