"It was our honor to be part of this community, to be supported and loved by you, to be a positive representation, a safe place, a voice, in McHenry County," wrote owner Corinna Sac.
The woman and LGBTQ+-owned bakery has been the victim of vandalism and revenue loss after trying to host a drag show last summer.

A fundraising campaign helped keep the bakery open temporarily, but bakery sales following the fundraiser were not sufficient to pay expenses.
