Just some of today’s cakes. Our new baker/ decorator, Sezgi is upping anti on creativity, inspiring the others to be more playfully creative too. The flower cake is a slicer store cake made by Diana ( who is too shy for a photo). Jala is learning cake styling as well. Which is good, because you guys are jamming through our slicer cakes. Our off the shelf store cakes are as pretty, fun and playful as well! The wedding cake has roselilly Anouska , Casa Blanca Lily, Earth Angel and Queen of Sweden roses and Bridezilla dahlias. All grown organically by us!

As some of you know, who have come into our shop and spoken to me, I truly believe in the power of food to heal what ails us. I’ve been doing a life long experiment on myself in this regard. Years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Disease and my thyroid ( an issue for many in my family), was going berserk between hypo and hyper. Yet a few years later I had no indices of Hashimotos disease. All because I became very aware, both in my own body and thru copious reading , about foods that affect thyroid. Ditto when I had cancer. I immediately went on a strict vegan, (substantially raw diet). After only 1 2/3 doses of my chemo protocol and 1 dose of immunotherapy, my stage 4 metastatic cancer with its enormous 20cm tumor taking over 3 organs and my lymphs had gone into remission. Everyone was shocked. It’s been a hard 15 months of treatment ( I continued at my doctors urging) and one of the side affects has been extreme tiredness and lethargy. This past week, I suddenly realized that my energy was back and wasn’t crashing in middle of day, so I paused to think, what’s different? . And then I remembered I’d started again including in my morning smoothie Ashwagandha powder from . Btw this isn’t an ad. I don’t know them personally, they don’t know me or that I’m posting about them! Anyway, I saw this article, and I thought, yes! We use freeze dried organic sour cherries at bakery when we make cherry frosting. And I started snacking on them and using in my morning green smoothie for a month or more now. And have been feeling remarkably unanxious, despite having anxiety provoking events in my life. So now I will stay more aware of my craving for sour! Here is the article. https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/blogs/wellness/anxiousness-sour-taste? Hope you enjoy.

When you order cake with flowers and fruit.

CAESAR SALAD!! With our house made sourdough croutons and house made dressing. Comes in dairy, DF or vegan. With extra anchovies or sans. With extra hard boiled egg or smoked salmon. I like it classic myself! Come on in out of heat and cool off with this classic. We will have it all summer.

AND, as our Do Gooder product we are selling our GF vegan sourdough croutons. These croutons are so awesome, that our entire staff couldn’t keep their hands off them. If you love our sourdough bread, you’ll love these! We had to hide them. Starting Friday they will be available for purchase. Like all our Do Gooder items, 100% of proceeds go to charity. Do Gooder items are always things we don’t normally make. So big treat for you, and blessing for the animals.

We will be donating all proceeds from sale of these croutons to small rescues who take dogs from high kill shelters. Dogs are being killed at epidemic proportions at the moment!

Should we also add a giant Do Gooder Donut next week? I thought either jam filled or the salted caramel you all loved. Let me know in the comments.

For All Do Gooder items, 100% of sale price is donated to our charity project: And good news, we will ship the croutons. ( our shipping platform is almost ready! )

Meet Sezgi, our new baker and cake decorator! She’s from Turkey. With great pastry school and professional experience. We are thrilled to have her. Her husband won the green card lottery, and we feel we’ve won the lottery with her!

We back with our summer special GF, DF Peanut Butter Brownies

Visit and experience our GF refreshing desserts -

Last year I experienced fish carnage in my pond. My bait fished ( I rescued them) turned Koi size and kept having babies. So it was a very full pond. Then my neighbor rescued feral out door cats, that stayed around only long enough to mutilate some fish. Then later the raccoon came for dinner and last of them died because of bad Cambridge water. ( I topped up the pond and minutes later they were all floating dead. ) So I buried them all in my garden. And said absolutely NO MORE fish. I didn’t turn pond heater on in winter, nothing. So I was flabbergasted this morning when I saw a lone small gold fish in the pond. It survived on its own for a year( thank you mosquito larvae —now I’ll return the mosquito zapper I just bought). I watched it off and on all morning. Sad little fish hanging well below the surface, clearly learning from his families trauma. I couldn’t let him live alone and die of sadness, so I went to pet store and liberated 2 more bait goldfish. OMG, I’ve never seen a fish happier. He did fish zoomies all over the pond, greeting his new school buddies with utter delight. So I know I did the right thing. Sigh.

It was two long years of being sick ( thinking I was allergic to everything) and 14 Loooong months of treatment, but today was my official last day of treatment!🎉🙏🏻☺️😁 I hope I never see you again infusion machine— that this is a permanent breakup. lol. They said that my cancer was too aggressive and was more than 20 cm and spread to 3 organs and all my major lymphs. They said it wasn’t curable. I knew it was. They made me sign a paper that I understood treatment was palliative only. And yet I went to treatment each time positive and upbeat. One of the most positive patients they’ve had they said. After 3 chemo treatments and 1 dose of immunotherapy I told my doctor I felt cured. She and the visiting doctor looked at me like I was mad. But my PET scan 3 weeks later showed zero signs of cancer! Despite this, because of severity of my cancer they wanted me to continue treatment for 14 months. So I did. The moral of the story is ALWAYS listen to yourself and what your body is telling you. No matter what anyone says.

This week’s Gluten Free Wedding Cakes. We grow all our flowers organically for our cakes and cookies. Plus Gracie Rose settling in after her life saving surgery last week!

Weddings! More to come!

Weddings! Still more to come!

Even small cakes look special with flowers!

Just Married! Wedding season is in full swing, and thankfully, our flowers are too. One benefit of growing hundreds of organic flowers, is that we can tailor our flower designs on cakes. I love to create small surprise bouquets as you spin cake around, so that every angle is of interest. If you want fresh flowers on your cakes, just let us know in the special instruction box. The last photo is of Gracie-Rose who is settling in and loving her new home. On this past rainy day I had to bundle her up as she’s used to warmer weather!

Anyone I know here looking to travel from Arizona ( Tucson area) to Miami Florida soon? My friend and her ONE dog is looking for someone to drive with to Miami. She can ride share with you or you can ride share with her. Let me know asap if you know of anyone who wants to go on this driving adventure with her and her sweet dog!

After 3 years in a city shelter in Miami, my new girl has arrived in Boston. Welcome to the pack and the bakery family, Nena! . I ❤️you already!
