Willowheart Bakeshop is cottage bakery, meaning I produce baked products in my home kitchen. In the state of Ohio, a cottage food producer is not required to be licensed and inspected for the production of cottage foods.

I take food safety very seriously and because I am not licensed, I am only able to produce certain shelf stable foods that the Ohio Department of Agriculture deems safe. This means that I can produce most baked goods like cookies, cakes, and fruit pies, but I am not able to produce and sell products such as cheesecakes, pumpkin, custard, or cream pies, and fillings and frostings like cream cheese or meringue based buttercreams, as they require refrigeration to stay fresh and are not allowed under cottage food laws.

At this time, I am not accepting custom orders.

I am able to accept cash, as well as debit and credit cards through my Square reader, which can be used with Tap to Pay (card or phone) or chip insert. I am also able to take payment through CashApp, Venmo, and PayPal.

Currently I do not offer any specific products that are free from gluten, dairy, or sugar. In addition, most of my treats are made with eggs and dairy products, such as butter and/or cream, so they are not vegan.

It is also important to note if you have severe food allergies, my products are made in a kitchen with equipment that has also processed allergens such as wheat, milk, soy, and nuts, including peanuts, pecans, and/or almonds. While certain products may not feature these allergens as ingredients, there is the potential for cross contamination.
