Compromise no more: The Sweet Pea Bakery “special diets” menu

September 21st, 2009

Everyone loves cake, but if you are following a gluten-free, sugar-free or vegan diet in Montana, your relationship with cake might be better described as love/hate. You love the idea, but you hate the compromises you make to enjoy cake and desserts. You use synthetic sweeteners, order pre-made items from other places or worse, you fudge on your diet and hope for the best.

Now with the release of the official Sweet Pea Bakery special diets menu, those days are over. At our customers’ request we’ve compiled a list of special diets desserts we’ve been perfecting “under the radar” and made them available to anyone who requests. Unlike other desserts for special diets menus, ours are guaranteed no-compromise. That means no fake ingredients, no bad aftertastes, and no apologizing to your “standard diet” guests. In fact, unless you tell them, they probably won’t even know the difference.

We’ve included a variety of treats for each category, including celiac, diabetic and vegan diets. We’ll be adding more as recipes pass the no-compromise test, so stay tuned. Since we’ll only be baking these treats to order, some are not available in the 4″ size, and they all require at least 72 hours notice. But we promise they are all worth the wait!

Click here for a PDF version of the Sweet Pea Bakery special diets menu. We’ll be integrating it into the website as soon as we can! Happy eating.

Celebrate Cake Freedom Day, Saturday Sept. 19th

September 14th, 2009

Is it just us, or does it seem like our society offers us more to worry about every day. . .

Is your block being over-run with liberals/conservatives? Is your car a clunker? Is your computer spying on you? What’s going on with Kanye? Did Monsanto really come to town to “build” us better wheat, and what’s wrong with the wheat we’ve got already?

Sweet Pea Bakery doesn’t have the answers to any of these questions, and frankly we aren’t sure we want to know. But we can offer you a little break from the madness. . .

Celebrate Cake Freedom Day & support the Gallatin Valley Food Bank

Please join us Saturday, September 19th from Noon to 5pm to celebrate National Cake Freedom day. During this time, all visitors to our Main Street bakery can enjoy a complimentary piece of one of our delicious made-from-scratch cakes and free coffee from our friends at Lil’ Sherpa Java. We encourage you to use the time to enjoy your treat, reflect on the the benefits of a slower way of life, and maybe strike up a conversation with a neighbor no matter how liberal or conservative.

But wait, there’s more! As another way of strengthening community ties, this end-of-summer edition of Cake Freedom Day will double as a fund-raiser and food drive for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. The cake is free to everyone, but if you bring along a non-perishable food item or cash donation for the food bank you will be entered to win fun prizes. We will be drawing for a 9″ cake and giving out door prizes all afternoon. There is always additional need at the Food Bank as the holidays approach, so let’s work together to contribute what we can to our neighbors in need!

That’s it. No sales pitches, no politics, no celebrity gossip or planned obsolescence. Just an opportunity to relax a little and enjoy some really tasty treats with your family and friends. National Cake Freedom Day is an equal opportunity holiday, so all are welcome. Please stop by 2622 West Main Street on Saturday the 19th for your taste of sweet Cake Freedom!

Welcome back students: 1/2 price delivery to MSU through 10/8

September 10th, 2009

It’s that time of year again. Bozeman has traded it’s tourists for it’s college students, and the area around the Montana State University campus is buzzing with activity. It’s no co-incidence that this is also the time of year we start seeing a lot of out-of-state numbers on our caller ID. Our made-from-scratch desserts, combined with our delivery service are popular with MSU parents looking to send some love to homesick kids, or a birthday cake on par with what they would bake if they just weren’t so far away. And we’re happy to be here to help.
