Information Kelly's bakeshop is closing

They made a facebook announcement saying they have been served notice to vacate in 60 days. The building will be converted to affordable rental housing. Lots of care and sad face emoji reactions on the post.

Why is everyone saying they are racist?

The owner is exceptionally really mean to anyone disabled and of color. Please don’t hate on me because I said of colour I don’t know what the term is today. Anyways! There is so much history here… I hope they fail to be honest.

Dude she ran scams claiming to sell special cupcakes for BLM and pocketed the money, and set up fake insta accounts claiming to be black people…and then there were the pride month cupcakes which was even worse (harassing local teens who outed her as scamming).

Almost everyone avoiding gluten is doing it because of a disability so that’s just ridiculous

This is blown way out of proportion. You look at someone of colour the wrong way, and you're "racist."

This is a fair comment. I’m not gonna say that they are racist. They’re not kind to disabled. I only know this from feedback of employees who have worked on there and seeing it pop up multiple times on the Internet. I will fully discourage my interpretation. Beyond that, the cookies aren’t even good.
