Our kitchen
We can’t promise any bake is free from any allergen. Everything is made in the same kitchen, with the same equipment, so traces can end up in any bake even when they aren’t in the recipe.
These are used in our kitchen, so any of our bakes may contain them:
If you have a severe allergy (for example to nuts or peanuts), we’d gently suggest our bakes aren’t the right choice for you. We’d always rather tell you that than risk it.
What’s in each bake
Before you order, email merrivanebakery@gmail.com and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in the bake you want, ingredient by ingredient. We’ll also list the allergens on the label of every box.
Custom bakes and celebration cakes
Custom flavours, fillings and decorations (toppers, sprinkles, chocolates) change what’s in a bake. Tell us about any allergy when you order or enquire, and we’ll confirm the full list of allergens before you pay.
Telling us about an allergy
- Use the Special Requests / Allergens box when you order, or email us before ordering.
- We’ll only use what you tell us to make your order safely. See our privacy policy.
- Every box comes with a label listing its allergens. Please check it before eating, especially if the bakes are a gift.
- Recipes and suppliers sometimes change. The label on your box is always the most up-to-date information.
The 14 allergens
UK law names 14 allergens that food businesses must tell you about. The ones used in our kitchen are highlighted.
