💛 A Little Pricing Update From My Heart

Hi friends! I wanted to share a small but important update with you. Over the last few months, this bakery has grown in ways I never expected, and I’m so grateful for every single person who has supported my allergen-friendly mission.

As many of you know, I bake everything with extra care, using specialty ingredients to make treats that people with allergies can actually enjoy without worry. After taking a closer look at my costs, I realized I’ve been undercharging quite a bit — and it was becoming hard to keep things running sustainably.

To continue offering safe, high-quality baked goods (and to keep working toward my dream of a storefront one day!), I’m updating my pricing:

✨ Signature cookies: $7 each or 2 for $11
✨ Mini loaves: $14 each or 2 for $22

Thank you for understanding and for continuing to show up for this little dream of mine. Your support truly means the world, and I’m honored to bake for you and your families. 💛🍪

I’m going to be really honest for a minute.

I’ve been dreaming about opening a storefront for my allergen-free bakery — a safe space where people with food allergies don’t have to second-guess every bite. And the truth is… it scares me. A lot.

Starting a storefront is a huge leap, financially and emotionally. I’m pouring everything I have into this business while still working full-time, and some days the fear hits hard: What if I fail? What if I can't make this happen?

But here’s the bigger fear:
Letting this dream pass me by.
Not creating the safe space I wish existed years ago.
Not serving the people who tell me my products let them enjoy food again without anxiety.

So I’m taking a breath and doing something uncomfortable — asking for help.

I’m looking for sponsorships who believe in allergen-free food access and want to help me bring this storefront to life. If you know someone who might want to support this mission, or if you’re curious about what sponsorship could look like, I’d love to talk.

Even sharing this post would mean more than you know.

Thanks for being here — through the fear, the dream, and everything in between. ❤️
