What Our "Satisfied" Customers Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here are some questionably authentic testimonials from people who have survived our baked goods.
"I bit into the Hot Surprise Muffin and immediately regretted all my life choices. My mouth was on fire, but I kept eating it. What does that say about me? 10/10 would burn myself again."
Sarah T.
Culinary Daredevil
"I ordered the Mystery Crumpet and I'm still not sure what was in it. The flavor changed with every bite. Is that normal? My doctor says no, but my therapist says it's exciting. I'm conflicted."
Mark R.
Adventure Eater
"The Experimental Crumpet changed my life. I can now see colors I've never seen before. My dog avoids me, but the squirrels in my garden now communicate with me telepathically. Worth every penny!"
Jessica K.
Squirrel Whisperer
Our Most Devoted Fan
"I've been eating these muffins every day for two years. My doctor says it's medically impossible that I'm still alive, but here I am! My skin sometimes glows in the dark now, which saves on electricity bills. The Questionable Blueberry changed my DNA, but in a fun way."

Our Questionable Baking Process
Witness the "art" of our baking process, where science meets guesswork and quality control is merely a suggestion.
Ingredient "Selection"
Our bakers wander around the kitchen, grabbing whatever ingredients are within reach. Is that flour or powdered sugar? Who knows! The mystery is part of the experience.
The Mixing "Technique"
Our proprietary mixing technique involves closing our eyes and hoping for the best. Too much mixing? Not enough? It's all part of the unpredictable charm our customers have come to expect.
Temperature? What's That?
We believe that oven temperatures are merely suggestions. We prefer to set our ovens to "hot enough" and check doneness by either throwing a muffin against the wall or asking our intern to taste-test.
Quality Control
Our rigorous quality control process involves asking "Does it look like food?" If yes, it goes to packaging. If no, we call it our "Experimental Range" and charge extra. It's foolproof!
The Final "Secret" Ingredient
Every creation from our bakery contains our secret ingredient: unwavering confidence. Despite all evidence to the contrary, we remain absolutely certain that we're making culinary masterpieces.
"If you bake it with enough confidence, customers will convince themselves it's supposed to taste that way."
— Our Founder, probably
Guesswork
Because measuring is for cowards
Heat
Enough to trigger smoke alarms
Surprise
Even we don't know what's inside
Confidence
The audacity of our baking

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products safe to eat?
Define "safe." If by "safe" you mean "won't immediately cause death," then yes, probably! If you mean "won't cause strange dreams and potential regrets," we can make no promises.
Why are your muffins so hot?
Our co-founder once misread "350°F" as "3500°F" and we've been too stubborn to change our recipes since. We've rebranded this mistake as "culinary innovation."
Do you offer refunds?
That's a great question! We have another question: Why would you want a refund on the greatest adventure your taste buds have ever experienced? But yes, we do offer refunds in the form of more baked goods, which some might argue is worse than no refund at all.
My crumpet is making strange noises. Is this normal?
Define "normal." If it's whispering secrets or predicting the future, congratulations! You've received one of our special Experimental Crumpets at no extra charge. If it's singing show tunes, please return it immediately as that batch escaped before training was complete.
Frequently Asked (and Avoided) Questions
Here are the questions our legal team has reluctantly allowed us to answer in public. Any similarity to actual helpful information is purely coincidental.
Great question! Our muffins are "hot" in multiple senses of the word:
- They're literally heated to temperatures that would make a volcano blush.
- They contain an unholy amount of chili powder because our head baker can't read measuring spoons.
- They're frequently on fire when they come out of the oven, which we've rebranded as a "feature."
- They're trendy! Nothing's hotter than muffins that might require a trip to the emergency room!
We recommend wearing oven mitts while eating and keeping a fire extinguisher nearby. Also, maybe don't eat them in a car with upholstery you care about.
Define "safe." Define "eat."
Our products have been tested on our staff, most of whom are still with us! We're proud to say that our baked goods are:
- Unlikely to cause immediate catastrophic bodily harm
- Technically classified as "food" in at least 3 countries
- Not radioactive (anymore—we fixed that issue)
- Composed of at least 60% ingredients that would be recognized as "food" by most humans
Side effects may include: temporary euphoria, questioning your life choices, spontaneous poetry recitation, and an inexplicable attraction to kitchen appliances. If symptoms persist for more than 4 hours, that's impressive because our muffins usually wear off after 2.
We're so glad you asked! After extensive research (asking our intern to Google it), we've determined:
Muffins
- Generally cake-like and sweet
- Baked in a muffin tin
- Can be made with various flavors
- In our case, weapons of mass destruction
Crumpets
- Griddle cakes with a spongy texture
- Has distinctive holes on top
- Usually served with butter and/or jam
- In our case, vehicles for existential crises
However, in our bakery, the difference is mostly theoretical. If it doesn't immediately burst into flames, we call it a crumpet. If it does, it's a muffin.
We absolutely offer refunds! Here's our industry-leading refund policy:
- All refunds are issued in the form of more baked goods (yes, really)
- To qualify for a refund, you must provide video evidence of your reaction to first trying our products
- We accept return of uneaten products, but since that's never happened, we're not sure how this would work
- For our "Mystery Box" products, all sales are final because even we don't know what's in there
"The greatest refund policy is the friends you make along the way. Or something like that." - Our Finance Department (currently a hamster in a wheel)
Storage instructions for our unique baked goods:
Hot Muffins: Store in a fireproof container. Some customers have repurposed old safes or ammunition boxes with great success.
Crumpets: Our crumpets prefer dark, quiet places. Some customers report their crumpets have developed separation anxiety, so storing them in pairs is recommended.
Experimental Items: Keep in a sealed container with air holes. Do not store near electronics, pets, or anything you value.
Note: If your baked goods start moving on their own, please contact our emergency hotline immediately. We can't fix the problem, but we'd love to document it for research purposes.
Congratulations! You've received one of our special Sentient Crumpets™! This is a rare occurrence that happens when our baker sneezes on the batter while Mercury is in retrograde.
Noise Guide:
- Soft humming: Your crumpet is content. No action required.
- Whistling: It's trying to get your attention, probably lonely. Try placing it near other baked goods.
- Whispering: It may be sharing the secrets of the universe or tomorrow's lottery numbers. We recommend taking notes.
- Singing show tunes: This batch escaped before finishing their training. Please return for a replacement that's less Broadway and more breakfast.
If your crumpet starts making demands or attempting to organize other baked goods in your pantry, please place it in the freezer immediately to slow its cognitive functions while you contact our Sentient Pastry Department.
