Hi! My name is Marissa. And while I don't use any actual spells to create my baked goods (despite what some may claim!), I do believe in the magic of a homemade dessert - especially for those who are used to going without.

 

Instead, each recipe has been perfected without the use of eggs, dairy, nuts, soy, and gluten through hundreds of trials & experimentation. And lots of taste-testing too!

​

I keep my recipes simple, uncomplicated, and entirely plant-based. And I promise everything is delicious too - I would never serve anything I would not or could not eat myself!

 

All the goodies I make are safe for vegans, and those with the most common food allergies - so I can eat them too. I have been anaphylactic to nuts since birth, and discovered a severe soy allergy after going vegan in 2018. Then, just this past September, I went gluten-free as well to resolve some final gut-health issues.

 

Over the past two years, many amazing vegan and/or gluten-free bakeries & restaurants have opened here in Barrie, but there was still nothing I could eat that covered all my dietary needs. So, I decided to make my own.

​

Sweet Apothecary Bakery started in my home kitchen, and is on its way to being so much more because of the love and support of my community - and just the littlest bit of kitchen witch magic too. ;)

You can find me every Saturday 8:00am-12:30pm at the Downtown Orillia Farmers' Market, or place orders via email for pick-up during the week!
