Allergens & Food Safety
All bakes are made with care in a registered home kitchen. We are transparent about ingredients so you can order with confidence.
Important: While we take great care to avoid cross‑contact, our kitchen does handle the major allergens listed below. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any product is completely free from traces.
Major allergens we handle
- Gluten (wheat)
- Eggs
- Milk (dairy)
- Nuts (e.g. almonds, hazelnuts)
- Peanuts
- Soya
- Sesame
Some bakes can be adapted (e.g. without nuts) — ask us before ordering.
Our handling practices
- Separate storage for key allergens where feasible
- Dedicated utensils where practical and thorough sanitising between tasks
- Ingredient labelling and batch tracking
- Hand‑washing and surface disinfection protocols
- Allergen‑aware packaging & clear labels
Storage & serving
Keep flat and cool. Most cakes are best enjoyed the same day or the next morning. Buttercream cakes: store chilled and let stand 30–60 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Can you make a nut‑free cake?
We can avoid adding nuts to your recipe; however, as our kitchen handles nuts, we cannot guarantee a nut‑free environment. Please consider this carefully.
Do you offer gluten‑free options?
We occasionally bake using gluten‑free ingredients on request. Cross‑contact is still possible as wheat flour is present in the kitchen.
