😢Once again, Manolo’s Bakery’s cakes and bread reflect our sorrow. This morning, while we make our cakes and bread, we are crying over the tragic loss of our young team member, Angelina, in a car accident. 🤍🕊️🙏

🧑‍🍳 As my bakers decorate the cakes, they pause, and silent tears fall onto their work tables, showing their grief.
As I said to Angelina’s family and my team at the bakery this morning, we are not having an easy time lately, yet now, more than ever, is not the time to give up.
The best way to honor everyone we have lost is to keep our heads up and keep working for those we love, despite the pain.
Please help me help Angelina’s family.

We at Manolo's Bakery are committed to supporting them, and your help would mean the world to them.

Please consider donating to their GoFundMe. Together, we can make a real difference during this heartbreaking time.

Una vez más, los pasteles y el pan de Manolo’s Bakery reflejan nuestro dolor.
Esta mañana, mientras elaborábamos nuestros pasteles y nuestro pan, lloramos la trágica pérdida de Angelina, una joven integrante de nuestro equipo, quien falleció en un accidente automovilístico.
Mientras mis panaderos decoran los pasteles, hacen pausas, y lágrimas silenciosas caen sobre sus mesas de trabajo, reflejando el profundo dolor que sienten.
Como le dije esta mañana a la familia de Angelina y a mi equipo en la panadería, no estamos pasando por tiempos fáciles. Sin embargo, ahora más que nunca, no es momento de rendirse.
La mejor manera de honrar a todos aquellos que hemos perdido es mantener la frente en alto y seguir trabajando por las personas que amamos, a pesar del dolor.
Por favor, ayúdenme a ayudar a la familia de Angelina. En Manolo’s Bakery estamos comprometidos a apoyarlos, y su ayuda significaría muchísimo para ellos.
Por favor, consideren realizar una donación a través de su campaña en GoFundMe.

Gracias, Manolo.

Thank you so much! Explore North Carolina We truly loved both the title and the article ✍️ of dear Isla Davenport. On behalf of the entire Manolo's Bakery Team and our immigrant community, thank you for taking the time to tell this story. ¡Big abrazos! 👨‍🍳

Regular cake should probably start stretching, because tres leches in North Carolina shows up creamy, confident, and ready to steal dessert’s spotlight.

Why help Manolo´s Bakery?
We are a purpose-driven brand, a Small Business with social actions that benefit local communities and global human ideals. We have Taken Care of and Improved Our Latin Bread and the tres leches cake tradition in Charlotte, NC. We Are Our Bread. We Stand For Our People, and We Believe in Our Future.

For 28 years, Manolo’s Bakery and Our Nonprofit (WeCare4: Made In America By Immigrant Hands) has contributed to small business efforts, supporting 26 organizations with cakes, bread, catering, funds, and time. This support has empowered communities—and, in at least one case, even saved a life.

This is the invitation to the 10 BEST USA TODAY
“Cake: the universal symbol of celebration, joy, and indulgence! Nothing more surely brings a smile to our faces than someone cutting us a slice of cake, lovingly baked and decorated by a local shop. Independent cake shops have been a memorable part of so many of our celebrations for years, and now USA TODAY hashtag is proud to return the favor and celebrate them.

A panel of experts and cake connoisseurs nominated their top picks from across the country, taking into account the range of unique flavors, inspired designs, customization options, and overall customer experience. Now, it’s your turn to determine which among them is the very best.

Polls close on Monday, June 9, at noon ET.

The 10 winning cake shops will be announced on Wednesday, June 18. “
