Unique Sweets, a Chicago-based bakery, is creating job opportunities for individuals with autism spectrum disorders to enhance their life skills. Founded by Liza Pereira, the bakery strives to be more than just a bakery but a community-focused establishment. Pereira's vision includes opening a community cafe as a safe space for autistic adults to gather and express themselves. Through baking, individuals develop various skill sets necessary for their success and independence. With inclusivity as a core value, the business has grown by attracting new bakers and receiving large orders from community members. Ultimately, Unique Sweets, with its 300 participants, contributes to making the world a better place, one cupcake at a time.
