Why eggs are the exception

Real eggs are used deliberately and heavily — they are the technical foundation of this bakery. Whipped-egg structures like angel food, chiffon and meringue depend on real egg whites to hold their shape; there is no vegan substitute that does the same job, and gluten normally helps a batter hold together, so gluten-free baking without it takes real technique to get right. This is not a vegan bakery.

Allergens present in some items

Eggs are used in all baked goods and are a deliberate, central ingredient — this is not an egg-free bakery. Plant-based butter, used in place of dairy, may contain soy. Tree nuts appear in some items — check each product listing or ask before ordering. Soy and sesame appear in some products. Some loaves and bready items are made with a gluten-free flour blend that contains certified gluten-free wheat starch. These products are appropriate for people avoiding gluten, but customers with a wheat allergy — distinct from a gluten sensitivity or celiac disease — should ask about the specific item before ordering.

How cross-contact is handled

All products are gluten-free. The kitchen is completely mammal-free — no dairy, gelatin, tallow, or rendered fat of any kind, ever.

This bakery operates under Missouri cottage food law, RSMo 196.298.
