Mindful Baking Cafe

I can't say enough about what our mission stands for!!! The work that, "Wiggle Room for Satan," is doing just brings joy to my heart. This isn't just about a cause, but what we can do when we join forces together. Never give up on hope or change, because... it's out there and we just need to find the community that does it from the heart. I found this group in hopes that money and help was going to a community affected by ICE and for real. And, my life will be invested in this change for years to come. Thank you to my new friends for all you do, "Wiggle Room For Satan." Si se Puede/ Yes we can!!!!

The business idea was born when owner Diane Mejia, in the midst of completing her pastry and culinary degrees, was diagnosed with severe gluten intolerance. Rather than throw in the towel, she decided to pivot to creating pastries and baked goods that she and others with similar dietary restrictions could enjoy. Her love of animals led her to give herself the extra challenge of keeping her recipes vegan-friendly as well. After extensive recipe testing and with the support of friends and family, her dream became a reality, and Dianeopened Mindful Baking Wholesale Kitchen in 2013. She has been bringing peace of mind to customers with food allergies and sensitivities ever since. Based in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood, the Mindful Baking team can be found selling allergy-friendly treats at farmers’ markets and pop-up events across the city and suburbs, and beyond. Mindful Baking products are also sold at numerous Chicago-area cafes and shops. Dianeproudly supports other Chicago-area vegan/cruelty-free businesses and organizations by hosting unique events throughout the year, such as the Vegan Star Catcher Market and Lucha Vegan.

This is for the kids, immigration rights and the animals! Without the band, Wiggle Room, sanctuaries, hidden light tattoos and mindful baking, there wouldn't be an event. Without everyone involved this event wouldn't be possible. Thank you to the grace of the universe to allow me to connect to our community like this. Please share this! ❤️ This is only a small print because we have so much work to do. RISE UP with us this Saturday April 25th, 2026 from 11am to 11pm. #immigrants #help #riseup #community #love

This is about feeding the kids!!!! 🙏 Join us at: 4201 N. Ravenswood on two stages: @mindfulbaking @hiddenlighttattoo THIS IS IT: We Present - RISE UP: Food & Music Fest on April 25, 2026 from 11am to 11pm. [@rise.upmusicandfoodfest ] A fundraiser aiding ICE destruction & animal suffering. Raising funds to assist immigrants and their families during these unjust times, advocating for the end of suffrage and justice for all who have been affected. This fest will also be supporting animal wellness. Standing up for "No animals get left behind" with benefits being given back to two organizations, @tiny_hooves_sanctuary and @offthetablefs The main group we are giving back to immigration wise with Mindful Baking/Rise Up passion project is: "Wiggle Room for Satan," the group's dedication and focus to feed families in need who lost their bread winners to ICE destruction. Please listen to their story, because all we need is an understanding what is going on in our communities to help. No family should have to go hungry and they are freakin' standing up and with their own money to provide for these kids and their families. The group's dedication and the way they operate with a code name to protect these families just shows me that love exists in this world. That we have the power to make change if we work together. I couldn't be more grateful to know them and call them my friends. I stand with you and this event stands with you! Thank you, "Wiggle Room for Satan." The word is a better place because of YOU! One of the members will be live with me on Saturday at 7pm to speak. ❤️ Please, spread the word about our event and tell people the mission. Because, anyone can work together and feed so many families and this event is just a start. I will also be adding a raffle tomorrow and announcing cool prices that you can win for the cause, so get your tickets at the door. 😱 Couldn't have done this with everyone that filmed and worked on this project with us. Thank you @chrispastenes for helping me bring it to life alongside your team. @aylemmegetacigarette thank you so much too. Guys, follow our mission and pages. #ICEout #love #compassion #together #comm
