MudPies LLC

how mudpies began

the foundation of MudPies began years ago, before I knew it, creating pies of mud decorated with flowers from our country home.

Growing up in the country we primarily utilized food grown from our large garden, local farms, and co-ops- this was important to us. We made everything, and were taught how to make things work with what we had by being creative and repurposing. As I grew, my love for creating "mud pies" developed into things we could actually eat! Combined with a mix of German & Italian heritage, soon I would bake whatever I could think of in my Holly Hobby oven (thanks mom & dad!). 

As years passed I developed a deeper passion for baking, creating, music, art, eating more unique things, and spending time connecting to nature through trail running (this is where a lot of my ideas birth from). The idea of starting a business doing what I loved seemed a bit surreal, but what had I to lose? MudPies LLC began in 2012 by attending local farm markets; it has been quickly growing supplying wholesale to local businesses, and retail to treasured clientele. ~Susan

my Mission

I believe there should be something for everyone. be it delightfully indulgent or delightfully healthy. Susan gladly works with clients to adapt MudPies baked goods to suit their needs.

MudPies represents a little bit of everything.

When I established MudPies, I thought it was going to be a little bit of everything I've collected and created from my family history. As MudPies grew, I had an increasing number of requests from clients to adapt this or that. The common phrase was “I’d love that if it were gluten free, or vegan, or made with coconut flour, or…”

I quickly learned that there was something missing for people - and I was on a mission to fill that void! Why you ask? I have a passion for baking and bringing happiness to others. I feel that if I'm able to create foods for a special occasion, to ease the stress of someone who's a good baker and ran out of time, for someone who wants something to aid their lifestyle, and often adapt baked products for someone who chooses to or has to follow a certain diet - then my mission is accomplished. I take great pride in what I do and using quality ingredients is very important to me. I will continue to expand utilizing local products when available, and reduce my carbon footprint each day. MudPies is essential to me not to make money, but to add joy to those around me by creatively baking, back to the roots.

I gain much happiness knowing that someone can enjoy something or look forward to a little something special to brighten their day!
