Meet Cindy
The Hungry Monkey Baking Company started in 2010, almost by accident…while she always wanted to bake for a living, her path had a few detours — from nonprofit development to marketing communications — until friends encouraged Cindy to bake her signature chocolate chip banana bread for a local two-day charity event benefiting children with learning disabilities. Since her daughter had early challenges, and she was her biggest banana bread fan, she immediately said “yes”! Her chocolate chip banana bread sold out both days. Soon people were calling, asking if they could stop by to pick up a loaf or two from her home. People needed their “fix,” so Cindy rented a commercial kitchen and got busy. Weeks later she was selling at her local farmers’ market with her two-year-old daughter, Lily, the hungry monkey, in tow — and a few months after in local grocery stores. And as they say, the rest is history.

Above and Beyond!
“This order and delivery was perfect. My daughter called me in tears during finals and needed a virtual hug so I thought this was the best way to do it as I'm a baker but I live in MN and couldn't get to her fast enough. Thanks to the owner for the quick and heartfelt delivery. It really turned things around!”
