Mission & Vision

At The Bakehouse at Maple Lake, our vision is simple but powerful:

 

“To make a sustainable, positive impact by helping impoverished communities in developing countries through our commitment to exceptional artisanal baked goods and community support.”

 

Our mission is to delight customers with artisanal breads, cakes, and pastries crafted with the finest ingredients while fostering a sense of community and generosity. 100% of our profits go directly to the Salt and Light Foundation, which provides food for families in poverty in Sri Lanka. Every purchase at The Bakehouse contributes to a meaningful cause—Generosity Baked In.

Core Principles

At The Bakehouse, we live by these core principles:

 

  • Artisanal Excellence:
    We take pride in handcrafting every product with the finest ingredients, from sourdough breads to custom cakes. Each item reflects our commitment to exceptional taste and quality.

  • Community Connection:
    Our bakery is more than just a business; it’s a place where neighbors and friends come together. Located in the historic Maple Lake neighborhood, we carry the spirit of the old Maple Lake, where families once gathered to create memories. We’re dedicated to building a welcoming space that reflects the warmth of our community.

  • Generosity Baked In:
    True to our tagline, every product sold at The Bakehouse supports the Salt and Light Foundation. We believe in using our talents and resources to help others, and every loaf of bread or slice of cake you buy helps feed a family in need.

  • Timeless Elegance and Comfort:
    Our bakery is designed to offer an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. Whether you’re picking up a fresh loaf of bread or enjoying a custom cake for your special occasion, we want every interaction to feel like a celebration.

  • Unique Artisan Tradition:
    We honor traditional baking methods and craftsmanship. From hand-kneading dough to perfecting each pastry, our approach ensures that every item is a true reflection of our love for the art of baking.
