WBRC Team Bakes for Workshops Empowerment

0:00Team WBRC jumped into the great Birmingham Bake Off on April 4th, a big fundraiser put on by Workshops Empowerment Inc. This Birmingham nonprofit helps folks with disabilities or job barriers through training and work programs. The event brought out bakers with all kinds of treats for tasting and buying. Attendees sampled everything from cakes to cookies, turning a sweet tooth into real support. Every dollar raise goes straight to the group's internships and employment services, making it a tasty way to give back. The organization started the Bake Off back in 2022 to unite the community around fun and purpose. Leaders say it spotlights local talent while funding life-changing help for those they serve. WBRC Squad was led by reporter Jillian Brooks from Baking News, teamed up with Shelby County reporter Brady Talbert, breaking news reporter Taylor, Pollock, and Alex Jones, now teaching TV and film at Thompson High School. They width up almond vanilla cake pops using a special pound cake mix from the nonprofit.
