Welcome to Cakes With A Conscience TM !
Cakes With A Conscience TM is founded on two important principles:
So, what does that mean when you buy a dessert from us?
First, we think you'll agree that our wide variety of cakes, tarts and desserts are among the best you've ever tasted! That's because all Cakes products are hand-crafted and made-to-order with the finest ingredients available. Most all of our products are now fully organic! We are committed to using organic, minimally-processed, local and fair-trade ingredients--because they are better for our bodies, our communities, and for the environment. We do not use trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients, preservatives, dyes or additives in our products. And, we think they make our desserts taste better, too!
Quality is our primary concern when it comes to making Cakes desserts, so we are very choosy about the ingredients we use and are constantly looking for ways to make our products even better. We think that attention to detail makes a difference. At Cakes with a Conscience TM, we strive to be socially responsible about what we put into everything we make. (Read our Blog to find out why what we don't put into Cakes products is as important as what we do use!).
- First, we believe dessert is one of life's great pleasures, so a dessert that doesn't taste amazing is, well, just not worth eating.
- Second, we believe that each of us has a responsibility to make our world a better and more peaceful place.

That brings us to our second principle. You can feel good about buying Cakes products because a portion of our profits goes to vetted charitable organizations (501 C3s) that focus on education programs and fighting gender violence and the oppression of girls and women globally. While it may not seem appetizing to talk about human rights and dessert in the same mouthful, we believe gender violence and violence against women are a central moral issue of our time, and we know that together we can make positive changes, one step (or cake) at a time!

At Cakes, these principles aren't an afterthought--they are the foundation of our business model, and have been since the day we opened! We also use sustainable practices in our production, waste disposal (we compost and recycle), and packaging (we use reusable and recycled/recyclable containers and wraps as much as possible, and never use Styrofoam). If you have any questions, please just give us a call!

About Us
We are a local woman-owned and operated for-benefit small business specializing in organic baked goods. When we began our business in Raleigh/Durham, NC in 2012, we were the only organic baker in the Triangle. Since opening, we've taken great pride in creating high-quality signature desserts for restaurants, as well as specialty cakes for our individual clients.
How Will I Get My Cakes Dessert?
Pick up at our Worcester, MA address will be arranged at a mutually agreeable time to insure that your dessert is fresh! Want to ship an item to someone? Please ask us for recommendations about products that ship well, and prices.

Will My Cakes Dessert Be Fresh, and How Long Will It Last?
We've all had that stale-tasting piece of pretty cake from a bakery shelf or a "day old" cupcake, right? We hate when that happens! We bake all our products fresh to order and do not use preservatives. We hope your Cakes dessert or treat will be gobbled up on the spot, but we will give you special instructions on how to keep your particular order fresh (and for how long). When stored properly, some products (like biscottis or cheesecakes) have a longer "shelf life" than traditional cakes or brownies (which start to loose some of their texture and and flavor after a day or two at room temperature). Ask which of our products need refrigeration or can be frozen.
Your Health and Satisfaction Are Important To Us!
We want you to be completely satisfied with your Cakes products and are dedicated to providing excellent customer service. You can read our customer reviews on our Facebook page (click the button below)! Like many small businesses, we have been impacted by the COVID pandemic. We have always practiced health and safety standards over and beyond those required! We want our customers health and safety to be paramount. We welcome questions and feedback about our ingredients and products. Please tell us when you place your order if you have any particular food allergies or sensitivities! We are a small-batch baker and take great care to use best practices to minimize cross-contamination with every order, but we are not a dedicated nut-free, gluten-free or vegan facility.
