Depressed Cake Shop— all month long
This sweet tradition marking Mental Health Month raises awareness by asking bakeries like Zucchini Kill, Le Politique, Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop, and Confituras to produce specially decorated treats.

Each item also comes with a card offering suggestions on how to start a mental health conversation. Skull & Cakebones is even taking the event one step further by hosting complimentary workshops in Dripping Springs throughout the month.
