Asian Baking Club: A Sweet Time Had By All
In Fall 2022, District One Studios hosted an Asian Baking Club, a cute and casual cookie decorating happy hour spotlighting AAPI-owned brands, inspired in part by our popular Asian Breakfast Club event!
Held at Kitsby Cafe in Williamsburg, the District One team welcomed guests from EATER, Insider, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, GQ, Cool Hunting, Well + Good, BuzzFeed, InsideHook, Thrillist, PAPER Magazine, and more. The event featuring a menu and gift bag selections from, and cookie designs inspired by, culinary kit company Kitsby, Vietnamese coffee roaster Nam Coffee, premium non-alcoholic Null Wines, award-winning Sông Cái Distillery, first-of-its-kind Lunar Hard Seltzer, starter kit company Omsom, and condiment purveyor Bowlcut.
A huge thank you to all who attended and supported from afar. Below, please find additional details and photos of our #AsianBakingClub event taken by photographer Duke Winn.
