Back to Eden Holiday Shopping Guide: Smiling Planet Children's Plates

Well, hopefully you made it through the Thanksgiving Holiday with your sanity intact and you aren't letting yourself get too overwhelmed with only a month to take care of all your Christmas shopping.  This year, as you are making your list and checking it twice, may we suggest that you consider supporting locally owned retailers committed to maintaining our prosperity here in Portland.  Here at Back to Eden Bakery Boutique we have carefully selected an array of small gift options that would appeal to the conscientious, earth-friendly shopper and still be gentle on your pocketbook.

Just to throw out one option for you this season, we are carrying the incredibly whimsical stackable children's plates from Smiling Planet. Made of 100% high-grade recycled plastic, they do not contain BPA, lead, phthalates or toxic inks and are made by an inspired couple here in the USA. Each hand-drawn illustration will encourage a reverence for this magical planet and appeal to both the little ones in your life and simply the young-at-heart. With six designs in stock to choose from Smiling Planet plates would make the perfect collection for your eco-minded friends and family for years to come.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!

It's almost Thanksgiving--a wonderful holiday that celebrate family, friends, and traditions. For an excellent post on why you shouldn't include turkey in your traditions, read The Discerning Brute's thoughtful essay.

If you're thinking about a special order for the sweet end to your feast, it's not too late. We still have a few slots left this Tuesday and Wednesday. Call us to place your order for delectable treats like an organic vegan pumpkin pie.

Whatever you find yourself doing this Thanksgiving, do it well and have fun!

Cherry-flavored Sjaack's Candy Hearts

A few new items: 

• Croissants--that buttery flakey goodness you remember--but even better since they're (of course) cholesterol-free and animal-free!
• Chocolate Croissants--like the buttery variety, but even better because chocolate makes everything better.
• Waffle Cones--Garrett's still playing around with the recipe, but in all likelyhood we're gonna be serving up fresh sweet waffle cones with your vegan soft serve. You're welcome.
• We are starting to make stuff with Daiya cheese. Daiya, the delicious melty soy-free and animal-free cheese. Haven't had it yet? Stop in for a Italian Calzone and try the melty goodness yourself.

In other news, we have new to-go menus, and they're gorgeous. Next time you're in, pick one or several up.
