Oakland Baker and Activist Jen Angel Dies After Being Injured During a Violent Robbery | Eater SF

"I knew Angel Cakes as an Oakland bakery run by Jen Angel, who built the business from selling cupcakes to friends and family for eight years before taking over the former T.J.'s Gingerbread house in 2016. The shop was known for outstanding pies and treats, and Angel told Eater she was excited for customers to try more unusual flavors, like grapefruit miso, one at a time. The bakery’s owner and operator—also a longtime organizer of the Anarchist Book Fair and a member of the Occupy Wall Street movement—was attacked and injured on February 6 during a violent robbery and died from those injuries on February 9." - Paolo Bicchieri
