Recap of the past week at the bakery šŸ°

Thereā€™s something incredibly special about making birthday cakes or anniversary cakes every single year for customers and being a part of their lives this way. We had so much fun making another birthday cake for Stacy. Last year she got a funfetti explosion cake, and this year Mama Ritchey sent an email requesting the following brief: funfetti cake & strawberries, and if we had any bakery grown edible flowers. Well, say less!

Aidan made the incredible strawberry buttercream (vegan), Jorge made the very delicious sprinkle cake, and I (Diane) made the fresh strawberry jam which used bakery-grown strawberries, plus the assembling the cake.

It came out soo delicious! We donā€™t do super fancy decorating, itā€™s just not our wheelhouse and thatā€™s OK. But when you are growing the most delicious foods in the gardens, and you have the most incredible ferments to work with, itā€™s cool when thatā€™s perfect for our customers.
Every single aspect of this cake was made in the bakery. From our cultured vegan veggie butter, bakery eggs, the milling of fermented veggies that makes the flour for the cake. The edible flowers we lovingly grow, the strawberries that come from our strawberry patch for the vibrant strawberry jam. (My friend in Maine makes our maple sugar)

Feliz cumpleaƱos, Stacy! Canā€™t wait to see what idea you come up for next years cake!

Pancake and Waffle Mix -- After 3 years of working and tweaking, we finally have a unique mix that is made from our favorite veggies, dehydrated and ground fresh by hand.

Youā€™ll find the taste and texture of a pancake made with this mix is what you would expect from a traditional pancake. They're a PERFECT way to start off the day!

Not to mention, they're extremely easy to make. All you need is a milk of choice, as well as a source of melted fat (vegan butter, regular butter, coconut oil, etc.). Let sit for 10 minutes and it'll be ready to scoop!

Pizza Mix -- We LOVE our pizza dough, but it was unfortunately not available to all our customers, as we could not ship it. So, Diane went to the drawing board to come up with a way you could make our pizza dough at home!

A perfect staple to keep in your fridge for a quick, delish, veggie-filled meal! This is version four of Diane's pizza dough ventures, and the most perfect. A versatile, allergen-free dough that rises and bakes to a tasty homemade pizza crust.

Just add oil and water! Easy peasy.

Mac n' Cheese Powder -- It's here! The white cheddar mac and cheese powder for you to make the cheesiest, quickest mac. All you need is 6 ounces of pasta and milk of your choice.

Please note that 6ounces of pasta is good for about 2-3 people. Most gluten-free pasta boxes range from 12-15ounces per box, so please keep that in mind and buy the number of cheese packets accordingly.
Also note: we do not like our cheese powder with the chickpea bean-based pasta, the bean flavor of the pasta is strong and fights with the epic cheesiness, but you do what you like!

We took our amazing white cheddar that takes 16 months to make, and dehydrated it. Mixed it with our sprouted amaranth, parsnip, cauliflower, and turnips (you can't taste them, just epic cheesiness)

Vegan Muenster -- The most fabulous melt with a stunning red rind, which adds a smokiness to the mild creamy flavor. With only a few weeks of aging, the paste is supple yet sliceable, and smells of fresh "cream". The flavor will coat your tongue, a sweet and salty combination that is balanced perfectly.

Oh my gosh. oh my gosh. Kind of a big deal for me (Diane) to finally offer cheeses to you. If you know (or if you donā€™t know) I make some of the most incredible, vegan cheese ever. I mean that with full sincerity. Feels like dairy, tastes like dairy, the chew. Melts like dairy. If youā€™ve experienced my frozen pizzas, you know how my mozzarella is likeā€¦

Cheese yā€™all. But dairy free. And veggies with super-duper beautiful ingredients AND you can freeze. We make little snack plates for ourselves and keep in freezer ā¤ļø

Iā€™m so proud and itā€™s a dream come true.
Itā€™s a bit tricky, because Iā€™m the only one who does it, and with my health being what it is, I am very cautious of what I can do because Iā€™m very limited, so there is a limited quantity of how many I can make.

Sharp Aged Cheddar - With buttery notes, a sharp tang, and a nutty finish, the extra aged cheddar is snackable and pairs well with apples, grated into pasta, sliced on sandwiches or burgers, and everything in between.
Wrapped in linen and rubbed with cocoa butter before aging.
The aging process brings out its mature flavor and a dense texture that is firm yet creamy and an exquisite cheese.

Cheddaring cheese is a multi-step process.
Our curds are formed into planks that get stacked on top of each other and weighed down to release excess liquid. As they chill, the planks are rotated so each gets the benefit of being at the bottom of the pile. After resting, the curd planks get processed into smaller pieces and formed into the forms they will cure in to create a drier, crumblier cheese.

Then they get wrapped in a very specific cheese cloth linen and rubbed with cocoa butter before they age.

This microbial presence helps the cheese slowly develop its rich earthy, soft and drier flavor.
Cheese yā€™all. But dairy free. And veggies with super-duper beautiful ingredients AND you can freeze. We make little snack plates for ourselves and keep in freezer

Vegan Plain Yogurt -- I finally cracked the code to making incredible (thick), rich, creamy, smooth vegan (nut-free/coconut-free) yogurt made with veggies and the curds from our fermented veggie vegan cheese!

The vegetables are processed (grating and juicing), then fermented, then processed and cooked into curds, then further fermented.
When I tell you we were all SHOOKETH and mind blown is an understatement!
Itā€™s the best vegan yogurt weā€™ve ever had. Super rich.
A whopping 25 grams of protein!

Our yogurt is cultured slowly, giving it a mild tang and lots of probiotic fire-power.

Parsnip Cream Cheese - 8oz. container - Pick Up Only

What can I sayā€¦ This is our cream cheese. What we use for many goods, what we use at our home. It tastes just like the dairy version. Just slightly softer and more ā€œwhippedā€ in texture.

Great on bagels, English muffins, cinnamon raisin bread, olive bread, crackers, itā€™s great to bake with. Itā€™s amazing.
