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

Thursday, 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.

Thursday at Sweet Pea Bakery: Four cakes and one great scone.

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Good morning Bozeman. Happy Thursday. The sun is up and so are the Sweet Pea Bakers. We started our day with a Banana Chocolate Walnut scone, which put is in the mood for baking cakes. Today we have four made-from scratch choices, so you’re sure to find just the thing for your weekend gathering. Choose from our decandent 7-layer Opera Cake, the more modest Vanilla Cake, or bring back memories of parties past with our “Best Ever” Carrot Cake or  a rich German Chocolate.

While they last,  this week at Sweet Pea Bakery. Stop into our shop at 2622 West Main Street in Bozeman, or call ahead to reserve one of your own. We’re at 586-8200.

The little things, part 3: The carrots in Carrot Cake

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

While browsing the bakery section of our local grocer recently, we noticed something peculiar. There was a cake decorated with orange  carrot decorations on a white frosting. Assuming it was carrot cake, we took a closer look at the ingredients. It never hurts to know what the competition is up to, after all.

To our surprise, though, carrots weren’t listed anywhere on the label. Just like sugar pancake syrup has all but replaced real maple syrup on store shelves, it seems that orange-colored, artificially flavored cake now stands in for honest-to-goodness carrot cake. What is a cake lover to do?

A cake they won't forget. . .

If you require your carrot cake to contain actual carrots, Sweet Pea Bakery can help. Not only do we use fresh, organic carrots in our “Best Ever” Carrot Cake, they are the #1 ingredient! Whether we measure it by weight or bulk, there are more carrots in there than any other item on the ingredient list. We think you’ll agree that’s quite a difference!

But it’s not the only difference. The second ingredient on that list is all-purpose flour. Sweet Pea Bakery Carrot Cake is made with Wheat Montana’s amazing (unbleached, unbromated, GMO-free, locally grown and milled…) Natural White flour.  We spice up the recipe with spices from Fisher Spice that we buy whole and grind fresh when we need them. Just as important are the things we leave out. Things like shortening, artificial flavors, and preservatives.

That’s the Sweet Pea difference: attention to the little things (and the big ones) that make our desserts the local’s favorite. Call us @ (406) 586-8200 today to get your very own Carrot Cake, or stop in to see us at 19 South Willson to choose from our daily selection of tasty treats.
