We believe our customers know the difference between made-from-scratch and mass-produced. This attention to detail is one reason our customers keep coming back and spreading the word about the little bakery in Houston.
Everything we bake is made on-site, on a daily basis using fresh eggs, pure vanilla, and sweet butter. We even use 1 pound of fresh carrots, and grate them right before we fold them into our famous Carrot Cake. Fresh tastes best.
