Testimonials
“The [GF chocolate] cake is absolutely phenomenal! Thank you so much. It’s absolutely wonderful and there is some leftover for me to munch on. Great job… thank you so much!” – Brian M.
“I just wanted to drop a line saying that [we both] love the cake. It’s delicious! I especially liked the frosting, it kind of added a little spice cake taste to the classic chocolate. Thanks so much and keep up the good work because we’ll be coming back for more.” – Ryan C.
I just wanted to say that these were the best baked goods I have gotten from you ever (not that the others were ever bad)! The cheesecake was solid, great crust and everything. The cinnamon bun was way better than Cinnabon®! -Chris T.
“My friend Ellen and I had your coconut avocado cupcakes at Handmade Arcade. They may’ve been the Best Cupcakes Ever In The World! I talk about them all the time! Thanks!” – Ehrinn
“I ate a piece of your vegan cheesecake at the Quiet Storm the other day, and it was THE MOST AMAZING BAKED GOOD I’VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE. Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about it, and I even bought the last two pieces.” – Sarah D.
“Thanks so much again for the hand-delivery [to Providence RI]. I can’t tell you how delighted I was that this worked out. Teresa absolutely loved the [gluten-free carob mint] bars, and the birthday song! She was wondering if you weren’t planning to move to Providence anytime soon and set up shop there… “ – Catalina O.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you use instead of eggs?
It really depends on the recipe. Some treats bake best with tofu, some with potato starch, or some with just baking powder, margarine or oil. Each ingredient works together to create the lift and binding necessary.
Where do you get your ingredients?
Some ingredients come from restaurant wholesalers and most of all from the East End Food Co-op right here in Pittsburgh! The grains come from local mills. Fruits and berries come from local organic farms whenever possible.
What does it mean for you to use organic ingredients?
We are not certified by the FDA as organic, but we use mostly organic ingredients. The flour, sugar, coconut, peanut butter, bananas and many other ingredients used are always organic. Fresh ingredients vary based on availability and season. Basically, we try to buy organic whenever possible.
What if there’s something I want that isn’t on your menu?
Please ask! We are willing to work with you on preparing your perfect dessert.
What are the different gluten-free options?
Right now gluten-free (GF) options are by request only. Please ask about it. The carob mint candy bars are currently the only items on the menu that are gluten-free (and living/raw). Many cakes can be made gluten-free as well as cheesecakes and pies made with a pecan, walnut or another GF crust. We recommend the GF coffeecake! Please note that this facility is NOT wheat and gluten-free. Even though we are careful to separate allergen ingredients, some trace amounts of allergens may be present. Many ingredients are not “certified” GF and only you know if your allergy is severe. Please consider this when ordering.
Is there anything I should know about food allergens?
My Goodies Bakery uses ingredients that are allergens to some people. Some of our bakers have allergies and appreciate attention to them. Of the top 8 food allergens we use peanuts, tree nuts, soy and wheat. We also use ingredients that contain corn and, of course, sugar. You know best what you will react to. Please let us know if you have any food allergies and we will do our best to work around them. The last thing we want is for someone to have an allergic reaction to our treats.
