from @bakernotabanker - #pastryPRIDE week 5 CATEGORY IS: LIBERATION . . From the beginning, pride was never a parade. It was a riot against police brutality. It was transgender, gender-nonconforming, and queer sex workers leading the way out of a darkness. A darkness that we are still, everyday, in the process of shedding. . . Although the first contentious brick has been hurled, this is just the beginning. The future of queer and trans liberation is what we make it. We must do the work and hold systems, institutions and individuals accountable. Keep up the fight, hold those tender queers close, shout at the top of your lungs and demand the change you need. . . Pride events have become sanitized, corporate parties trying to sap us of our precious dollars while pumping the queer community full of what straight folks think passes for pride. Sylvia Riviera and Marsha P. Johnson are the mothers of a movement that it is our duty and our honour as queer and trans folks to continue to live, day in and day out. . . The first brick has been thrown, what comes next? . 🥐🔻🔥The First Brick🔥🔻🥐 . . This Cruffin is inspired by Sylvia and Marsha, and the riot that began our journey to rights, representation and liberation. To break into this Cruffin takes a bit of destruction. Smash the meringue crisp standing on top and dig deep into the pair of namelakas that make up a garden. The earth, a deep, dark chocolate with a hint of ginger, and the flowers a bright and sunny mandarin-white chocolate. Inside is a sour curd with a punch. Lemon and ginger flood your senses and leave a gentle burn behind. . . #cruffin #crufflove #dtkeats #kwawesome #bakery #croissant #croissants #chocolatelovers #curd #lemon #ginger #mandarin #chocolate #pastry #sweets
