For many bakers, pricing is one of the most challenging things. We understand our prices may seem high at times, but they reflect the quality ingredients, time, effort, skill & business expenses that go into creating our products.
Price can be an indication of quality. This is most certainly true for our products--better taste & better for your body.
Time is one of our most precious resources & once spent, can't be regained. We value the time, care & dedication that goes into each creation.
To continue bringing you the quality & tastes of
Baked With A Blessing, it's essential that pricing
sustains our business.
We've even done all the full-size ingredient shopping, so you can enjoy homemade treats without the extra effort!
Relax & enjoy!
