I recently read a heartwarming story about how a sweet woman from New Jersey, Candice Benbow, baked her noisy neighbor a pound cake after staying up at night from his loud music. Instead of angrily confronting him or calling the cops, she left the pound cake by his door along with a letter she wrote him explaining how his 3am house party disturbed her sleep. Through this unexpected kindness, a friendship was birthed between two neighbors who both turned out to be new to the area, each processing grief from a recent death of their family member.

Inspired by this story, I have created the Baking & Kindness challenge. This challenge aims to use baking to promote kindness in unexpected circumstances. If you are inspired to bake for a stranger, a loud neighbor, a quiet co-worker, or an estranged relative/friend, join me in this challenge!
