Mandy Harper, Founder
Mandy's interest in animal-free and healthy nutrition goes back to age 15. It was one fateful day in December 2008 that she set off to bake a cake.
With no formal training in the baking arts, Mandy took to the task the way any vegan baker would: flour, baking soda, egg-substitute, canola oil, soy milk and a lively blend of fruits and chocolate. After hours of toiling in the kitchen, the cake she produced was pretty, but a long way from remarkable. Her culinary creation looked and tasted fine, but lacking nutritional value, Mandy wondered:
Can there be delicious desserts that are also good for you?
This question would lead Mandy on the quest that forged Wholesome Bakery. Rolling pin in hand, she vowed to conquer simple carbs, refined sugars, unhealthy oils, soy, dairy, and all their unhealthy cohorts. With an uncompromising commitment to quality and taste , Wholesome Bakery proudly produces cakes, cookies, baby pies, breakfast breads, donuts, toffees and much more!
HOW WE GOT STARTED
The idea for Wholesome Bakery began around December of 2008.
It all started with an endless search for truly healthy desserts. Desserts that didn’t have things like simple carbs, refined sugars, soy, unhealthy oils, dairy and so on. Sadly, there were little to no choices. So Mandy decided to take it into to her own hands and create yummy treats that are not only full of wholesome ingredients, but also healthy for you.
The wonderful thing about working with great, high quality ingredients is… it’s easier to make great products! It didn’t take long before amazing things were coming out of the oven. It started with cookies and went on to cupcake and now we have so many recipes and ideas for recipes we don’t even know what to do with them. We've even figured out how to make healthy, great tasting donuts. Something that we're very proud of!
Around February of 2009 we decided to see if we could get our goodies in local organic grocery stores. We had much luck and within no time grocery stores all over the city were caring my treats. Keep your eyes open for WB's goodies at your local stores!
We've continued to grow every day without any compromise to quality.
