The Bettersweet Baking Project

In addition to running The Bettersweet Baking Project 👩🏽‍🍳🍪, I volunteer with an environmental justice organization, Save The Aurora Reservoir. 💙 One of my main draws to this particular cause is it is a local matter where I felt I could have the greatest impact. As grueling as it is gratifying 😅, I quickly learned the threats of fracking and industrial development reach far beyond the area that I live in. This is an issue more communities around the state & country are waking up to and organizing on as we speak. 🗣️

Let April aka be a reminder about the importance of doing what we can, no matter how big or small, to protect our planet. 🌎 At a time when the overwhelming sentiment is “me, me, me” and “more, more, more”, we cannot forget that each of us is responsible for and owes a great deal of respect and care to our natural environment. 🌱 Let’s not get it twisted: it is not ours to take from, it is on us as humans to give back to. 🫶🏼

Priti Patel

The beauty of small business means that connections often take place organically. Thanks to a referral by a thoughtful repeat customer, The Bettersweet Baking Project/Priti Patel recently had the honor of baking cookies for a Douglas County assembly event. TBBP was incredibly fortunate to be on display at John Padora’s () table and to support his campaign. I reached out to John afterwards to personally thank him, and he kindly responded by letting me know how much everyone loved the cookies! 🍪🤝🏽🥲
