Comfhaus x Karat Cake

EF Comfort (Comfhaus) and Kara Traub (Karat Cake) met as we both were looking to pivot from our day jobs to focus on our independence and prioritize our art. Kara suggested a collaboration project where Comfort turned clay pieces into earrings. At the first release in October of 2021, they (we) were (are) floored by our success. The rest is history.

Think Princess Bubble Gum and Marceline.

We represent our community by being open about our values and backgrounds, speaking up when we can, and encouraging each other to be ourselves.
