Many of you know I love supporting local businesses especially those that are edible confections. My long standing favorite Mopweeze Bakery bakes up allergy free baked goods over in Bergen County NJ. True, I may be somewhat partial to this family that whips up allergy free baked goods almost 24/7 and present the full array of baked items with merry and love at NJ local farmers markets. I’m thrilled for them as they’re addressing not only a personal problem (their family suffers collectively over 21 allergies) but according to Food Allergy over 15 million adults and 1 in 15 children are diagnosed with food allergies. Think how frightening it might be for someone to sustain an allergic reaction without access to an EPI pen? It’s scary, really. Just recently I met a young girl that told me she isn’t invited to anyone’s birthday party because they’re scared of her allergies. AGHAST. Sad isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be terrific if her friends could invite her to birthday parties and sweet allergy free choices are available? You know I had to share about my yummy find with her and her family! Sure they’re not the only allergy free bakery out there, but I’m telling you their cupcakes and custom cakes are even better then the “real thing”. It’s NOT yesterdays cardboard creation! Rather think of them as a Gourmet Allergen Free Bakery: Free of the TOP 8 allergens: Dairy Free, Egg Free, Peanut Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Tree nut Free, Vegan and even customizable! Utilizing simple ingredients: garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, white sorhgum flour, fava bean flour, white rice flour, sugar, natural oil blend (palm fruit, canola and olive oils), rice milk, fruit puree and/or cocoa, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla, baking power, baking soda and xantham gum). In keeping with the freshness factor, expect these cupcakes to uphold a good moist bite even on day 2!
It all started 2 years ago, and I was fortunate enough to attend their “Taste” party. Really it was an excuse to meet up with old friends but it was for good reason, to try out their cupcakes!

Mopweeze Bakery – Flavor Variety Pack
And we tried whimsically titled cupcakes: Jamaican Me Crazy, Gimme Mo Banana Choc Chip, Janny’s Chocolate Mint, Mo Apple Pie and more! And don’t worry if you want to try them ALL, they carry a flavor variety pack (mini poppables) too and did I mention they deliver in New Jersey?
Share and spread the good news about their cupcakes. These days you can find them at local farmers markets where you can do a happy meet and greet. You can order online directly on their Mo’Pweeze Bakery website too. Looking for custom cakes for a birthday party, special event or even your wedding? They can do that too! Make sure you stop by and support local!
