Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm sorry I've been pretty much radio silent since the end of the last market season, but life has been, in short, a lot.

Because of that, and because of skyrocketing food costs, I'm afraid I have a less-than-happy announcement. I won't be at the farmer's market this year, and I have elected to not renew my cottage food registration for 2023.

I am hopeful that this is a pause and not an ending. Thank you so much to everyone who has bought from my humble little shop over the past two years. I've met some truly wonderful people during this time, and I'm sad to set this part of my life aside for now, but I hope that someday I'll be back.

Sorry to flake on you. (lol)

With love,
Felix

And that's it! Last market of the season. I appreciate everyone that's come out in support of my business! Whether you bought a cookie, a croissant, or a whole cake, I truly appreciate you choosing to spend your hard earned money at my little business.

I'll be accepting custom orders, so if your event could use croissants by the dozen or a cake, please reach out to me!

xoxo
Felix

Today has been busy. I made this pear and walnut spice cake with chai Swiss meringue buttercream for a customer, and I'm posting between dough folds of the croissants for Saturday's market.

This Saturday is my final market of the season! Looking forward to seeing you all one last time before the cold really sets in. Keep an eye out for the menu! :)

FAQ about my vegan croissants:

What's the difference between vegan croissants and regular croissants?
--I use the same recipe that I use for my regular croissants, but I replace the butter with a cultured plant-based non-dairy butter and omit the egg wash.

Why do they look like that?
--The vegan butter acts like dairy butter in many ways, and has the best flavor of all the brands I tested, but it doesn't bake up quite the same as dairy butter. The vegan butter releases more steam than dairy butter, causing them to puff into some funky shapes. But I promise that they're still tasty! They also don't have shiny tops because I don't know of a vegan substitute for egg wash.

Why do they cost more?
--The vegan butter costs significantly more than the dairy butter I use in my regular croissants, but it's the best butter substitute that I know of.

Catch me at tomorrow! I'll have these and vegan pain au chocolat for my vegan pals.

I went to visit my grandparents yesterday. I brought them this orange flower cake with pistachio American buttercream and decorated with fresh edible flowers (nasturtiums, marigold, and lavender)! Thought I'd share this with you all.

By the way, it's been a while. Catch me at this Saturday, 9/10, from 7 am until noon or I sell out! I'll have my usual lineup of croissants and vegan croissants, plus a couple other tasty treats!
