Upcycling from Baking refers to the creative process of transforming food byproducts or surplus baked goods into new, high-value food items, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Common examples include turning stale bread into croutons or breadcrumbs, repurposing cake scraps into cake pops or trifles, and using spent grain from breweries to bake fiber-rich cookies or granola bars. This eco-friendly approach not only minimizes food waste but also opens the door to innovative flavors and textures in the kitchen.

Chef David Dodson, a CIA-trained chef, bought our bakery in Vallejo, California, in 2008 and brought his passion for pure ingredients and expert techniques to every batch. With recipes rooted in simplicity and scaled with chef-level precision, David’s cookies are rich, complex, and unforgettable.
