Good public relations isn’t only about things bright and sunny. Kerry Diamond, Editor in Chief of Yahoo Food, writes about fighting depression with cupcakes via the Depressed Cake Shop, a concept that originated with a PR executive in London in 2013. Everything in a Depressed Cake Shop is topped with gray icing.
That’s to show how “depression is like a gray cloud over an otherwise sweet and beautiful world,” says Valerie Van Galder, who picked up the concept from Emma Thomas, aka Miss Cakehead, a London PR executive.
This is a beautiful story with a fund-raising payoff, for folks who want to help fight depression.
