Welcome to Moonrise
Why Choose Moonrise?
With so many talented bakers, making a choice can seem hard. I hope this helps you decide if I’m the right baker for you!
No Pressure!
Send me a message, ask for menus and pricing! If we work well together as client and baker, that’s the peanut butter to my jam! I make edible art, so I follow your inspiration as closely as possible, but I also put my own spin on things. (Keeping in line with your theme and vision.) My clients LOVE IT. Sometimes they just send me the party invite and ‘go crazy’. That’s my favorite. You get a one of a kind treat!
Quality
Down to my vanilla extract, I use fresh quality ingredients that my clients can taste. Most of my customers are repeat, and they love the taste of our signature sour cream chocolate cake. Our Madagascar vanilla beans are ethically sourced and shipped to me where I extract my own vanilla and produce my own homemade vanilla bean paste.
The taste is unparalleled.
Natural - Dye Free - Dairy Free - Gluten Free*
Please understand that I am not a certified allergen free baker. Therefore if you have a severe allergy I cannot guarantee cross contamination. However, I am happy to accommodate any special baking requests. We are also transitioning our bakery to be number dye-free! (Yay!)
Family Based
I am a micro cottage bakery, which means my products MUST be approved by a hard-working husband and a sweet baby girl. Nothing walks out of the kitchen that I wouldn’t give my own family. While they can’t help with the baking, rest assured, your items pass the taste test.
Support Other Local Businesses and the Community!
My first EVER order was 5 dozen decorated cookies for a local shelter. We do this because we love it and we love to give back. What you should know when you order from me is that for every order we get, we try to give some of it back. When we need fresh fruit or eggs, we support local farm stands. When I need specialized toppers I order from local craft makers. We are a small business supporting other small businesses in the area.
Profits, cakes, cookies, and donations are regularly made to the surround school athletics clubs and other local organizations. So thank YOU for helping us do that. For example, the cake to the left earned $400 for a local food bank at auction!!
Community over competition.
I appreciate your consideration and the opportunity to earn a new client!
Our story
It all starts with rolling out sugar cookies on my grandparents table, and decorating Christmas cookies.
I grew up cooking and baking and they are some of my fondest memories.
My Grandma and Grandpa Privia were always making something delicious. Their dining room table was always covered from end-to-end each Christmas with the insane amount of treats that my Grandma insisted we make. It always seemed so much, but it’s one of my most treasured memories. From every kind of cookie, to peanut butter balls, tea cookies, and what we now know as ‘charcuterie’, extra pickles! She loved family and loved treating us all. My Grandpa.. well he loved eating it! My mom, the crazy scientist. She’s always got me on my toes. With new recipes, ideas and crazy concoctions. They don’t always work out to be an eye-pleasing masterpiece, but they’re usually delicious. While her parents are now at peace, we try to carry on their traditions and I look forward to baking too many treats when we get to spend the holidays together.
My Grandma Kiki made sugar cookies every year as gifts for family and friends and after baking would always have her grandkids over to decorate. I always looked forward to decorating. Oh, and mint making! She makes the best mints. YUM! One thing that always stuck with me is how creative she praised me for being, and how much she loved my cookie designs. As a kid, those sorts of things stick with you. She always paid such close attention and noticed the little details I put into each cookie. Well, until my hand started to hurt and I just threw some sprinkles on! My Dad has always been a big influence on flavor. Mexican-American flare on classic desserts are oh-so-yummy and incorporate warm spices that feel like home.
Of course there are so many more influences and inspiration from family to my friends, and I wouldn’t be where I am today with out them.
Thank you all for supporting my dream.
