Why shop at Goodie Goodie?
When you buy baked treats from Goodie Goodie at Community CRC you're supporting refugee youth. We're a non-profit bakery launching a training and job creation program, and our free 26 week course will be comprised of a combination of video learning and hands-on training. We'll provide our students with temporary employment in our bakery during the program and assist them with permanent job placement in the baking industry upon completion.
We have a history of partnering with national charities like World Vision, Kids Help Phone and UNICEF but people keep asking why they can't donate to Goodie Goodie. Well now you can! We don't pay for things like rent or advertising, so 100% of your donation and 100% of our bakery profit goes to pay the refugee kids in our program. Everyone at Goodie Goodie is a volunteer, and we don't pay for things like rent or advertising, so our administration costs are almost zero, which makes us a pretty good choice when deciding where you want to spend your donation dollars. And the more you donate, the more refugee kids we can bring into our program.
Our Mission: To provide temporary employment in our bakery for refugee youth who are registered in our training program and to assist with permanent job placement in the baking industry once the program is completed (we'll also be baking incredibly yummy treats!)
Our menu: Tiny cakes, GREAT BIG COOKIES, mini doughnuts and chocolate from "Peace by Chocolate" with 100% of the profit going to support our young refugee staff.
Volunteer with us! Thursdays 12 to 3 Fridays 9 to 12 or 12 to 3

Little tiny cakes
Goodie Goodie Petit Fours
Petit Fours are delicate little cakes that originated in France. Their name translates to “small oven” in English because in the past they were baked with the residual heat of brick ovens used for breadmaking.
Our miniature cakes are Goodie Goodie's version of basic Petit Fours, the classic French dessert. We've elevated them by making our yummy three layer Vanilla Mini-Cakes with Homemade Lemon Curd and Raspberry Filling, then icing them with amazing French Buttercream Fondant made in a bain marie and decorating them with handmade Buttercream flowers with individual petals (not shown) to create a whole new dessert. We think Marie Antoinette would approve!
