✨Big Buns Bakery FAQ ✨
We're getting close to 2,000 followers around here, so there are lots of new faces and it felt like a good time for an updated FAQ!
If you're new here, hi! I'm Meredith, the baker behind the buns. I started Big Buns Bakery in Melissa, Texas in July 2024, and what started as a little home project has somehow turned into thousands of cinnamon rolls.
1. What do you bake?
Cinnamon rolls. That's it. 😂 Big ones, regular ones, mini ones...but always buns. Cinnamon rolls are my thing.
2. What makes your buns different?
Every bun is made from scratch, hand-rolled, filled and iced by me. I use real fruit, make my fillings from scratch, cook the Yee-Haw caramel on the stove, and don't add preservatives. Just big, soft, gooey buns.
3. Do you offer gluten-free or vegan?
Yes! I make gluten-free, vegan AND gluten-free vegan buns.
My kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free or allergen-free kitchen, so please keep that in mind if you have celiac disease or a severe allergy.
4. What are your most popular flavors?
Classy, our traditional OG, and Yee-Haw Caramel Pecan are the heavy hitters. Strawberrylicious and Blue Jean Blueberry have plenty of loyal fans too, plus I rotate seasonal flavors throughout the year.
And yes, the Bourbon Babe actually has bourbon in it! We use locally made Lockwood Bourbon in the glaze. 🥃
5. Where can I find your buns?
Big Buns is based in Melissa, Texas, and you'll most often find me at the McKinney Farmers Market at Chestnut Square, ranked the #1 farmers market in Texas!
You can also grab Big Buns cinnamon rolls at Country Charm Coffee in Anna every Saturday morning!
No storefront...yet. 😉
6. Can I order outside of the farmers market?
Absolutely! I take pre-orders, special orders and event orders.
Next market is this Saturday, August 29th

7. Do you do events and large orders?
Yep! Showers, birthdays, brunches, weddings, office breakfasts, corporate events, teacher treats and more. I've done everything from a few buns to hundreds.
8. Can you make custom flavors?
Sometimes! Have a bun idea? Send it my way. Some of my favorite flavors have started with someone saying, “Okay, hear me out...” 😂
9. Do you ship?
Not currently. I've looked into it, but shipping big, fresh cinnamon rolls gets expensive FAST. For now, we're keeping the buns local.
