If you follow a specialized diet due to food allergies or other concerns, it
can be difficult to find cakes that fit your needs. Since I bake entirely
from scratch, I am able to control the ingredients that go into each cake
that I make. Please note that all of my cakes are produced in a
kitchen that also processes nuts, wheat, soy and dairy. It's up to
you to decide whether that's okay for you or if you should avoid
it. I take every precaution that I can when baking for clients with
allergies, but I don't have a dedicated area for allergen-free baking, so
the decision has to be up to you. If you have a life-threatening allergy I
advise you to hire a baker who has a dedicated allergen-free kitchen!!

Vegan/vegetarian/organic
I can substitute vegan products for dairy products, so vegan cakes
aren't a problem. Organic cakes just require organic ingredients, so I
can provide those as well.

Diabetes
I don't do sugar-free cakes, but I can do reduced sugar for some of my
formulas. I haven't been able to find any sugar substitutes that still taste
okay after being heated, so I don't use any splenda, saccharin, etc. My
meringue buttercream has substantially less sugar than the
shortening-based icing that most people are used to, so that would be
an option if you want to reduce the sugar in your cake.

Specific allergies
I can accommodate allergies to some individual ingredients. If you have
multiple allergies you should email to see if I can eliminate everything
that you need to avoid. Because some ingredients are used as
substitutes for others, I might not be able to take care of clients who
have to avoid multiple food items.

As stated above, I do NOT have a dedicated nut-free kitchen. If
you have a life-threatening allergy to peanuts or any other
ingredient, I would recommend that you buy a cake from
someone whose kitchen is free of that allergen.

Corn allergies can be difficult to accomodate, especially in combination
with allergies to other ingredients. Please call me to find out if I can help
you if you have a corn allergy

Gluten-Free
I do NOT do gluten-free cakes, and everything that I bake does contain
wheat flour. If you're severely gluten-intolerant you can go to
www.3fellersbakery.com and order a cake from Susan, who has a
dedicated gluten-free kitchen that produces baked products. If you just
have a gluten sensitivity that isn't as severe as celiac disease, and
you'd like me to decorate a cake that Susan bakes, she's willing to
arrange that. Again, the decision has to be up to you.

Kosher
I do not have a kosher-certified kitchen! If you're looking for a certified
kosher baker, I would suggest calling a synagogue that's local to your
reception site and asking them if they know of someone they can
recommend.
