Frequently Asked Questions
Is Everything Gluten-Free?
A resounding, Yes!
Is Everything Plant-Based (Vegan)?
Again. Absolutely, Yes. And I do want to share that it comes from a place of accessibility for those with dietary needs. Pretty much all folks can indulge in thoughtful plant based pastries. It is not out of a notion that there is dietary superiority of plant based diet.
Do you ship?
Yes! I ship my chocolate hazelnut donuts. Follow this link to order!
Do you deliver?
I am happy to coordinate a meeting location. I currently bake from home in Afton.
Do you have a shop?
No. I closed my brick-and-mortar in December 2020 to slow down and more intentionally craft the life I want to be living.
I am allergic to nuts, is your bakery nut free?
We are Peanut Free, but I do use nuts and is not safe if you are worried about cross contamination.
What kind of sweetener do you use?
I use coconut sugar to sweeten most pastries. Maple syrup and dates are also used to sweeten. I DO NOT use cane sugar.
A lot of Gluten-Free baking uses gums and starchy flour, do you use gums?
No. I steer clear from Guar Gum, Xantham Gum, and any other such gums. I stick to whole grains and seeds that I soak, sprout, and mill in house. I use grain-free organic cassava flour, which is a minimally processed flour, as well as almond flour.
What does it mean to be a 'Mindful Bakery'?
Moon Maiden's Delights is the fruit of the contemplative practice of Owner/Baker Sidney Hall. MMD's is a way that meditation and yoga theory and philosophy come to express themselves as act and offerings to a community. The act of baking at MMD is a craft completed with attention, intention, and absorption.
