Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cottage Food program?  

It is a licensed and permitted operation through the Washington State Department of Agriculture which allows preparation and sale of products from a home kitchen and residence that has not been subject to a standard inspection criteria.  Rather, there is a strict application process unique to the national cottage food industry.  You can learn more by visiting  Cottage Food | Washington State Department of Agriculture. 

My WSDA permit # is 1038 and renewed annually.

What are your hours of operation?

Messages and e-mails are checked daily.  I am prompt with replies and can discuss an order within a day.   My baking days and times are contingent upon my work schedule, events (Pop-Ups, fundraisers, Sweet Treat Saturdays) and other custom orders.

What opportunities are there to try your baked goods?

Follow Facebook and Instagram posts about Pop-Ups, "Sweet Treat Saturday" sampler box opportunities and giveaways such as Rabbit-Rabbit, the Cookie Drawing, and other themed baking events.  You can also click the Pop-Up tab for dates and locations. 

I received a gift certificate or Pop-Up Bucks. How do I redeem them?  

Gift certificates/vouchers will have terms and conditions listed, including an expiration date.  When you are ready to redeem, e-mail me at moonrabbitpastry@gmail.com to determine my baking availability. Pop-Up Bucks have no expiration date and can be applied towards any purchase during a Pop-Up or other special event.  Be sure to bring it with you!

How do I place an order?  

Use the CONTACT tab to inquire about my baking availability and if I can accommodate your order.   If my baking slots are full for your desired item, we can find an alternate date or I can refer you to other local bakers.

How do I pay for my order?

Payment instructions will be on your invoice. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and cash are all accepted forms of payment.

Where do I pick up my order? 

Porch pick-up in Brier during designated hours on Monday-Saturday.  Free delivery is provided on Sunday ONLY for any Brier address. Other Sunday pick-up/delivery options are available and a nominal fee may apply.  

What is Rabbit-Rabbit?

Uttering these two words before any others on the first day of the month is a quirky little tradition that some follow with hopes of good luck.  Superstitious or not, it’s just a fun folklore activity (and a chance at some free cookies!). Visit Moon Rabbit Pastry's Facebook page on the FIRST of every month for a chance to win a dozen cookies!  

Do you bake other products which are not listed on this website?

Yes, the website is just a peek at my regular and consistent products. I create a wide variety of cakes, cookies and pastries.  Contact me to discuss exactly what you are looking for and we can create something together!  If I am unable to make something for you, I will refer you to other like-minded bakers and pastry chefs.

Do you bake gluten-free items?

Not at this time since all baked goods are created in a home kitchen where most equipment has contacted gluten and/or other allergens such as tree nuts, eggs, dairy and soy at some point in time.  I am unable to guarantee that cross- contact will not occur or items are free from traces of gluten and/or other allergens.
