FAQs
Do we bake all the goods ourselves?
1
No! I usually bake one item, and sometimes my partner, Gus makes an item as well, but other than that baked goods are gathered from the community - many people who we have worked with in the food industry (I have been working in the pastry food world since 2022 and Gus has been a chef for over 10 years!), and people we have met through our Instagram page!
How often do the bake sales happen?
2
Our goal is to have at least one sale every month.
How can I get involved?
3
Please check out our sign up sheet (top right of this page) for more information about volunteering. You can also find this link through our bio on Instagram. We take 9 bakers per sale, and a few non-baker volunteers for various tasks, such as printing and posting flyers, table set up, lending or donating materials and tools etc.
How can I contact you?
4
Through Instagram, email or phone. I have my contact information listed below.
Do you have vegan goods?
5
Our goal for every sale is to have at least 1 vegan item and 1 gluten free option!
Is all of the money donated to the cause each month?
6
For the first few sales, we donated every penny to the cause. Now that we’ve started doing this every month, things add up! So we have decided to take a flat 5% from the sales each month to help us pay for things like pastry boxes, materials, our time, gas, and this website for examples. That 5% typically ranges from $35-60 at the most (so far). It doesn’t cover everything for us, and we definitely pay out of pocket for some things, which for now is OK! We also take donations of tools and materials from the community which really helps us to keep this sustainable.
Are you an official non-profit?
7
Not yet, but we are working on it! I am learning what is the best model for this idea and would love to get us legitimized as a non-profit by the end of the year. Currently we are operating as a pop up. If you have ideas or advice, please feel free to send us a message!
