Los Angeles – Love sweets and helping out a good cause? Then you’re in for a treat this weekend! Depressed Cake Shop is a pop-up cake shop that has done away with the conventional colorful desserts and instead sells baked treats that are grey. That’s right, Depressed Cake Shop sells only grey colored cakes and other baked goods that when cut into give you a fun, colorful surprise. The bakery is based on the goal of raising awareness of mental health issues by making each treat thematically tied to a mental illness. The proceeds from each pop-up cake shop will be donated to an organization that will further the cause.

On Friday and Saturday, August 23 and 24, the Buckwild Gallery in Venice will be transformed into the Depressed Cake Shop’s next pop-up bakery. Their opening night party will take place on Friday and will feature delicious grey baked goods, as well as themed artwork and photography from renowned artists, complimentary beer and wine, and much more.  Saturday’s activities will include decorating classes throughout the day by a renowned sugar artist.  All proceeds from this weekend’s events will benefit NAMI Westside LA.
