***uncollected boxes cannot be refunded/in store credit as we already paid for ingredients and baked the order and cannot handle any losses with our small margins....if there are any pastries we cannot fulfill on our end, an in-store credit will be issued as we are a small mom and pop shop and sometimes we cannot cover large refund amounts after food cost is already spent :) Thank you for understanding!

HEY THERE! If you’re not seeing any pastries on our site, don’t worry...you didn’t break the internet! It just means preorders are currently closed and we've temporarily hidden our pastries to prevent overselling. The next Saturday preorder starts Sunday evening at 7pm sharp and closes around 7:15/7:20 when it fills up. So set your alarms and be quick!!
We’re a small mom and pop bakery, and preorders help us plan and purchase ingredients for the week ahead. I know it can be confusing, but this system seems to work best for our current little bakery set up. We literally bake based on what you order, plus a guestimate for our walk in numbers for the week. So every preorder helps keep us going. Saturday pick up preorders typically open on Sunday evening and close by Wednesday evening or Monday evenings during peak weeks. And, we also do a Friday sandwich and small pastry selection preorder on Thursdays every week. In addition to preorder we always have plenty of pastries for walk ins Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. We’d love to see you! Thanks for supporting our little bakery, every order makes a real difference. ❤️
Chunky Cookies
We like jammy gooey cookies with crispy edges, how 'bout you?

HEY THERE!!! JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WE ONLY HAVE TIME TO CHECK EMAILS ON TUESDAYS USUALLY:
We are a tiny husband and wife team with a very small staff baking and prepping all week for Thurs-Sat openings. We only have time for admin on Tuesdays. But things do come up and emails do get lost in the mix. We are very attentive on Instagram and can get back to you right away on there. If you have a cake inquiry, please give us all the details in your email and then shoot us an instagram message to let us know you sent one if we have not got back to you!! Thank you for understanding. This is the best set up at the moment while we are in our growing pains :)

Layered Garden Cakes
We make beautiful garden layer cakes. We decorate with fruit and flowers that are available to us seasonally. Each cake is decorated at random and organically to our aesthetic. You can pick the color of the cake and flavor, but we pick flowers fruit and overall design aesthetic. Due to the nature of our decorating style and schedule of our bakery, special jams will depend on what we are offering that week for our Saturday Pastry bake. But, we always make balsamic strawberry jam, brown butter lemon curd, chocolate cremeux, Matilda Cakes, and raspberry orange blossom jam.

Menu as captured Sep 1, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 106 venues in Indianapolis, IN and could score 28 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.

“Not listed” means the day was absent from the schedule we read — usually closed, but we never saw it stated, so we don’t claim it.
Page carried 2 separate day/time blocks; the highest-scoring one was used. Days not named in it are 'unknown', not 'closed'.
Hours checked Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗ · these hours were read from the page text rather than published schedule data, so we show the week instead of calling it open or closed · Always worth confirming with the restaurant.
