Heartfelt Bakehouse

We are closing down.

We could blame Covid.

We could blame the supply chain issues that now prevent us from getting shipments of take out containers.

We could blame the outrageous cost of everything that prevents many small businesses from every turning a profit while providing a fair price to purchase.

We could blame our mission to create a super healthy snack and never relent or compromise on ingredients.

We could blame the hardship many small companies have trying to hire people and staff a small operation that can't provide all the benefits one deserves.

We can cite these as issues but we're not making them the culprit. The truth is, our family has run out of steam trying over come every obstacle. We don't view this as a fail. We learned so much in the process and developed a killer cake recipe as well.

The good news is we have a ton of cake so we will give some of it away and eat the rest.

Thank you to everyone who supported us. We hope our products brought you some joy.

Marc, Ryan, Lori.

Update:

Over the last few months we have been working on our many things in preparation of a relaunching. We have finalized our new branding and packaging. We've also been working on our new website with a focus on making the ordering of our cakes from any part of the country possible without costing our customers an arm and a leg.

Lastly, we have finalized the five flavors(cake and frosting) we are going to re-introduce at launch. These include:

Vanilla Vanilla
Orange Vanilla
Mint Chocolate
Raspberry Tart (w/ vanilla cake)
Chocolate Chocolate.

We will be open to custom orders and working through how to make that easy for you through our website.

Here's a sneak peak of the new label - the part that will be on the lid. The cup design is still being finalized and we'll present that here within the next week.

One thing has never changed - our commitment to health is unrelenting. For an ingredient to make it inside our product it needs to meet an almost impossible criteria but the most important of which is that it cannot cause inflammation.

Ingredients that cause inflammation lead to illness. We believe food is medicine and while our food should delight our taste buds, what we eat must make our cells sparkle with life and energy.

We are hoping to fully launch everything by June 1. However ... WE ARE STILL SHIPPING CAKE. IF YOU WANT TO PLACE AN ORDER, MESSAGE US HERE.

Health, it's on all of our minds.

Health inspired our company and the products we make. It also influenced us in other ways. Here's a few practices we take as a family to maintain ours.

1. Vitamin D from sunlight. I shoot for 10,000 IU's a day. I use DMinder to measure the amount and mitigate overexposure. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/d-minder-pro/id547102495. I've been using this for 2 years. No sunburn ever. It alerts you when your sun session is compete. I don't use sun protection creams. Most are chemical based that seep directly into your bloodstream. Once I get enough sun, I'll wear a cap, long sleeve shirt or stay in the shade.

2. Eight hours of sleep. After my diagnosis, it was critical I get a good night sleep. It wasn't easy but I found a great hack. I take 500 mg's of magnesium before bed. I also limit my exposure to blue light after sundown. At home I wear blue blockers. This is the brand we buy. www.raoptics.com

3. Drink Beet Powder. It's great for heart health, improves blood pressure, increases endurance, reduces cholesterol and many other benefits. We use https://shop.thedrswolfson.com/products/beetroot-powder?_pos=2&_sid=8b6aa32e5&_ss=r. My cholesterol is way down & I believe it's from this and sunlight exposure.

4. Oil Pulling. We do this daily using organic coconut oil and oregano oil for 15 min. We chase it with a sea salt and hot water gargle. If you don't know what oil pulling is - https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/6-benefits-of-oil-pulling.

5. Daily exercise. We invested in bands, yoga mats and signed up with trainers who have online sessions. I also try and get 15,000 steps a day. Early morning, midday and after dinner.

There's lots more we do but would love to have you share some of the things you do to stay healthy.

Be kind, spread love, wear a mask and be safe.
