YES, and always will be!

Yes we do! We offer our Skinny Cookies, sweetened with roasted bananas and a pinch of coconut sugar.

We use Bob’s Red Mill flours and they, “power wash their machinery and discard the initial 30 pounds of flour between runs to do their best to eliminate contamination”.

We advise you to consume at your own discretion.

What kind of flours do you use?

We use garbanzo, fava bean and sorghum flour as primarily, our main flour of choice from Bob’s Red Mill.

What does your Red Velvet cupcake taste like?

We pride ourselves on only using the best quality ingredients and nothing artificial. With that being said, we use organic beet juice to colour and partially sweeten our Red Velvet cupcake. Its delicious! The colour of the cake is a subtle brown/red, and has a deliciously unique flavour, that’s wholesome and natural tasting. It’s Erinn’s favourite too!

Do you use any artificial food colouring?

Nope. We never will. We use only the best natural colours and we bring them in from California. We know and fully understand the dangers of artificial colours. Artificial food colouring causes brain damage. Artificial colours hurt children and their neurological growth causing irritably and hyperactivity and loss of brain cells. We can do without it. Our kids are that important.

Do oats have wheat in them?

Oats themselves are completely gluten-free and wheat-free. However, in the processing of some manufacturer’s oats, they may come into contact with wheat. We make sure our oats are free of wheat and we bring our oats from Bob’s Red Mill. They are 100% wheat-free and gluten-free. You can breathe a sigh of relief!

Are you grain-free?

No, the majority of our baked goods contain grain. We use grains such as oats, sorghum and rice.

Are you soy free?

We are almost 100% soy-free….Only our ice cream and a couple of toppings contains soy.

How many calories are in your cupcakes, brownies, cakes and cookies?

Our baked goods are very nutritionally dense as we use the finest whole bean flours, organic sugars and natural vegetable ingredients and fruit purees. The calorie count is quite similar to that of conventional baked goods. However, the quality of the ingredients is far superior which can keep you eating less. Click here for our nutritional guide.

Are your products healthy?

Yes, we call them the "healthier" option! We use protein and fibre rich ingredients that you can feel good about eating and giving to your favourite people. Some of our amazing ingredients we use are garbanzo and fava bean flour (rich in fibre and protein), sweet potato puree (high in beta-carotene), coconut milk (great for your digestive system), apple sauce (natural sweetener) and organic coconut sugar (rich in trace minerals).
