Frequently Asked Questions
Artisan goods built around natural ingredients, handcrafted in Tehachapi for people who want honest, beautiful products that work.
What makes Ryders Roost different from other bakeries or skincare shops?
We combine artisanal baking with small-batch, natural beauty and home goods. Every skincare product and candle is made in-house from thoughtfully sourced ingredients (think tallow face cream, goat milk soap, organic oils) and every bakery item is baked fresh daily. The result: products that perform, smell wonderful, and tell a story — made locally in Tehachapi, CA.
What is your Tallow Face Cream and who should use it?
Our Tallow Face Cream is a nutrient-rich, deeply moisturizing face cream made from pasture-raised tallow blended with organic oils and botanicals. It’s ideal for dry, sensitive, and mature skin types and for anyone seeking restorative hydration without heavy synthetic ingredients. This product is not vegan (it’s animal-derived) but is perfect for people seeking time-tested, natural skincare.
Which items are your signature/up-sell products?
Our customer favorites and Unique Selling Points: Tallow Face Cream, Goat Milk Soap, Fresh Baked Pie, Fresh Sourdough Bread, and One-of-a-Kind Centerpiece Candles. These are highlighted throughout the site and rotate seasonally.

How do I order bakery items and when should I place my order?

INGREDIENTS, ALLERGENS & SOURCING
Full ingredient transparency and small-batch sourcing so you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin and in your body.
Are your skincare products organic, cruelty-free, or vegan?
Our skincare prioritizes natural and organic ingredients; many components are certified organic. All our products are cruelty-free. Some products (like Tallow Face Cream and goat milk soap) contain animal-derived ingredients and are not vegan. We clearly label each product’s status on the product page.
Do you accommodate allergies (nuts, gluten, dairy)?
We use eggs, dairy, nuts, gluten, and other common allergens across our product lines — especially in bakery items and some soaps (goat milk). We label allergens clearly. If you have severe allergies, contact us before ordering so we can advise on safety and possible accommodations.
CUSTOM CANDLES & EVENT ORDERS

Can you make custom centerpiece candles for events or weddings?
Yes. We design handcrafted centerpiece candles to fit your event’s color palette, scent preferences, and scale. Lead time is usually 3–6 weeks depending on complexity and quantity. Rush options are limited — contact us early for best results.
How do pricing, deposits, and revisions work for custom orders?
Custom orders start with a quoted base price (depends on size, scent, finish, and quantity). We require a deposit to reserve production time — typically 30–50%. Final payment is due at pickup or before delivery. Revisions are handled case-by-case; design changes after approval may affect price and timeline.
