Just some random information about Mountain Sweets!
Operating as a Cottage Bakery
Mountain Sweets is a cottage bakery. This means that we do NOT operate out of a commercial setting, we operate out of a HOME! We sell under the Maryland Cottage Food Laws. These laws state that we cannot offer items that require refrigeration, we cannot offer anything with fresh fruit and our buttercreams/frosting have to be sent out and Lab tested for us to sell. Common desserts that we can't offer are things like: Chocolate covered strawberries, Banana pudding cakes, Tres Leches Cakes, Macarons...and so much more (unfortunately). Keep this in mind when you see other folks offering these things without a commercial kitchen👀
Delivery Service
We offer delivery for ALL of our treats! If you are located IN Nanjemoy, then your delivery will be free. If you are located outside of Nanjemoy, there is a delivery charge. BUT. If I am already going to be in the area I will not charge for delivery. (Why would I charge you when I'm going to be there anyway!?) Example: I go to LaPlata 4-5x a week for the gym. If you meet me at my gym then there's no delivery charge. Same thing if for some reason I will be in Mechanicsville, Waldorf, etc etc.
Wedding Bookings
My FAVORITE bookings. But I am ✨️different✨️. I refuse to charge extra money because the word "wedding" is involved. I remember for my wedding I paid $700 for my cake... WHAT? I thought "would it be the same amount if this was for a birthday?" I got you. Everything on my menu will cost the same if you're ordering for a wedding, baby shower or a birthday.
DESSERT BARS!
I love doing dessert bars. I also love curating your menu! The easiest way to order a dessert bar (for any event) is to tell me 1. How much you want to spend. 2. How many you're wanting to serve. 3. Your must have items AND, 4. Tell me if I am delivering and setting up!
Farmer's Markets/ Vendor Events
They scare me. I won't even lie. Am I baking too much? Am I not baking enough? Will the heat melt my buttercream (again)? I am a highly anxious person and these kinds of events really put me through it!! I love when my customers come out to support and I love gaining new eyes on the business.. but I very rarely sign up for vendor events!! I have one scheduled for June and I'm already stressing🤣😅
Cake By the Slice Day (CBTSD)
In this economy!? Ha! I loved doing this but I had to put a hold on it because I was driving all over the place to deliver the slices! If there was a way to bring you your slices in a more cost effective way.. I would!! It's a work in progress.
I can't think of any more topics, have you made it this far? Wow, I appreciate it🤍
