Fundraiser Workshop: Medovik with Lola Borovyk

  • Carolina Ground L3C 1237 Shipp Street Hendersonville United States (map)

Please join us for a Bakers For Bakers fundraiser workshop, led by Lola Borovyk, to learn the technique of the Ukrainian Honey Cake known as Medovik, a traditional 8-layer honey cake made with its blend of wheat and rye flour. 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales are going toward refurbishing two mobile wood-fired bakeries in Ukraine which will be used to provide free bread to people living on the front lines.

Lola grew up in Kamianske, Ukraine, where her earliest and many of her fondest, food memories were formed. At eleven, Lola moved to the US with her mother and quickly discovered an affinity for the visual arts. After earning a degree in Interdisciplinary Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art, she turned her creative and handicraft skills to baking pursuits. She now leads the pastry program at OWL Bakery where, since March 2022, she has spearheaded and run an ongoing fundraising campaign for direct aid efforts to Ukraine through sales of Medovik, and thus far has raised and donated over $24,000.
