This home bakery food is art as well as taste. It is a cottage food operator that is fully permitted by the City of Los Banos to bake at home and sell approved products to third parties for distribution. Specialties include hand crafted sugar cookies, cupcakes, and cookie pops, but its the artistic custom cookies that have wonderful hand-crafted artwork that distinguishes these from other sugar cookies.

Update 4/26/25: Test Criteria & Sample
For food products, the quality test attributes are color, flavor, texture, overall acceptability and taste. However for custom food products there is the additional factor of meeting the intended use by depicting images of an event.
The two products tested from this business were provided by the City of Los Banos as edible 'souvenirs' of the Historic Downtown Los Banos Gateway Sign ribbon cutting on 4/25/25. The cookies and cupcakes were displayed on plates.
Update 4/27/25: Visual & Taste Test Results
One sample out of three designs of a commemorative sugar cookie and one sample out of three flavor profiles of a chocolate cup cake were received for testing. A visual and taste test of both easily met all of the business 5-star quality requirements.
The cookie and hard-shell royal icing design was firm and tasty and was large enough for pairing with a few cups of coffee or tea. The standard sized cupcake had an adequate chocolate cream frosting on a moist and again was very tasty.
It's encouraged that other customers of this business also provide their ratings of any of the products until they are available in retail shops like bakeries etc. read more
