Baking people happy since 2019.

 

What do you do when you’ve raised two awesome humans, are lifelong entrepreneurs, have some time on your hands, and want to make a difference in your community? You start a cottage business that specializes in treats that everyone in the family can enjoy!

We joined the North Beach Farmers’ Market in 2019 and quickly realized that there was a need in our community for specialized desserts, with a focus on dietary restrictions and/or intolerances and we were able to build a small but loyal community of customers. Once the market switched from Friday evenings to Saturday mornings, we chose switch things up, too - expanding our menu to include donuts, because who wouldn’t love a warm cookie or delicious gluten-free donut fresh from the oven on a Saturday morning?

Each week, our menu boasts our Farmers’ Market Favorites, seasonal delights and, yes, maybe even a pop culture reference because we are geeks like that.

Facts & FAQ.

  • Product Color Coding

    Because we offer a wide variety of items that each have their own dietary classifications, we have created a color-coded system to easily and quickly identify which items are gluten-free, vegan, sugar free, items that contain added nut allergens or any combination therein.

  • Free Samples

    We have worked tirelessly to perfect our original recipes and understand that there is a stigma associated with desserts that are catered to specialized dietary needs. To combat this, we offer a limited number of prepackaged free samples at our events so customers can try before they buy.

  • Free Local Hero Cookie

    At each event, we offer a limited number of free individually wrapped Darn Good Sugar Cookies to our local heroes. This started as a way of giving back to those who give so much to us - first responders, veteran & active military, and expanded to include nurses & teachers during the pandemic.
