“I’ve been planning my wedding this year and Carrie has been a huge help throughout the whole process. From bridesmaid proposals, to cake testing, to appetizer creations, she has done amazing with all of it. She is seriously so multitalented and never disappoints. I tell everyone about her and would highly recommend her for any event or just for a sweet treat!”
Taylor, DFW
“Loyal customers here! We can’t say enough how good has been counting on Carrie for our celebrations. From birthday cakes, Christmas charcuterie boards, Halloween doughnuts and more, we know whatever we order is going to be amazing! Thanks for being part of our family memories. Recommended!”
Roxy, DFW
When I tell you, this bakery is THE best vegan bakery in town, I mean it. I just feel so complete every time I receive my vegan doughnuts from them. Recently, for my birthday I purchased a vegan birthday cake. OMG what! There is nothing better than being able to live my life as a vegan and still enjoy treats. I’d just like to say thank you to the Mercado family for providing such great service.
Christian, DFW
Carrie is the absolute best! Amazing customer service, excellent at communicating and the food is always divine! We order from her for literally all of our family gatherings and holidays and she’s made our special occasions extra special. She helped me reveal my daughters name and killed it at my baby shower! I’m so grateful for the little sparkle her and her tasty food brings into our lives!

My story
Cooking with purpose
Growing up in a Mexican household, food was something that was cherished and celebrated, flavors were (and are!) endless and the kitchen truly was the heart of the home. Because of this, from a young age, I knew the kitchen was my passion. There is no outlet quite like food where I feel all creative boundaries vanish and as a vegan, excitement for innovation is unleashed. When my family and I went vegan in 2015 it was my mission to create from scratch, flavor rich vegan versions of all our favorite foods and baked goods! In my kitchen, you will find everything from fully raw meals and fresh juices to cakes and fried vegan yeast doughnuts as I believe healthy eating and sweet treats do not have to be mutually exclusive but can come together harmoniously to create a beautiful balanced lifestyle. It is imperative in my kitchen that nothing is sacrificed, not flavor, not texture and especially not animals. I hope here you find food and pastries that fuel your vegan journey or encourage you to try a vegan meal!
