Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a storefront?
Yes and no. We are a home-based bakery in Chandler and maintain limited stock in our freezer for freshness. But we have a NEW LOCATION at Painted Tree Boutique in Gilbert, 2793 S. Market St, Gilbert, AZ 85296. Our booth (E21) has cookies, brownies, cupcakes, muffins, cake pops, seasonal specials, and more—all ready to enjoy every day. They are open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Why can't I find the address for pickup?
Our address is not listed on the website since we are based out of our home. The address for pickup is on your invoice or receipt. Note you will enter at the front gates of the neighborhood. Call or text with any questions.
Do you have items available for same-day pick up?
We have limited items in stock in our freezer: brownies, cupcakes, and muffins. Some may be available to pick up the same day if you contact us. We no longer stock any cakes. All cakes and other custom items require one week advanced purchase.
How far in advance do I have to order for custom items?
All cakes and other custom items require at least one week advanced purchase. You may order months in advance if you wish. Wedding cakes may require more than one week.
Do you use nuts?
We bake a few items with nuts and are very careful when we do. We understand cross contamination and do our best to avoid it. However, we do have nuts in our home. If you have a severe nut allergy, please be advised of potential contact and proceed with caution.
Do you have gluten in your home?
We have celiac, so we understand. Yes, we have very few items with gluten in our home, but we do not bake anything with gluten or have gluten flour. Gluten items are never out while baking, and we are extremely careful to eliminate cross contamination.
Can you accommodate other allergies? What about sugar free?
We are happy to make items free of dairy, eggs, and nuts. Everything is gluten free.
Sorry, we do not bake anything sugar free.
Do you sell yeast breads or cinnamon rolls?
No, we only sell sweet baked goods. We do not sell yeast breads, rolls, or other savory items. Sorry, we no longer sell cinnamon rolls.
Do you use seed (vegetable) oils or artificial food dyes?
We use avocado oil, butter, and Sweetex palm oil shortening. Our chocolate chips do have soy lecithin in them, as most chocolate items do.
We are phasing out items with artificial food dyes. Please note that we still use it for colored frostings, sprinkles, and red velvet cakes. We note food dye on our contains statement.
What gluten-free flour do you use?
Do you sell wholesale items?
Yes, we offer wholesale prices to local coffee shops and restaurants. Contact us for more info.
Why did you change your name?
We started as La Bonne Miche GF Bakery in October 2021 because we started the bakery with sweet loaves. The name means "the good loaf" in French. Since our focus changed to cakes and other goodies over the years, and since it's hard to say/remember/spell it in French (for most people), we changed the name to something fun. We use vanilla in almost everything we bake, and we love this fascinating plant (an orchid, actually). If you can ever visit a vanilla farm (like in Hawaii), we highly recommend it.
Fun facts: Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world, second only to saffron. Pure vanilla extract can have a variety of flavor profiles and takes a long time to create.
