Ingredients + Allergen Information

At Little Miss Gluten-Free, I take ingredient quality and dietary needs seriously. I’ve been baking gluten-free for 18 years, and I work hard to create goodies that are both beautiful and thoughtfully made, yet maintain a traditional taste and texture.

Because all products are handmade in a home kitchen, please read the information below before ordering—especially if you or a loved one has allergies or sensitivities.

Gluten-Friendly Notice (Important)

My products are made using gluten-free ingredients and prepared in a home kitchen using a dedicated mixer, baking pans and tools. All surfaces are carefully cleaned and sanitized as well.

However, this is not a certified gluten-free kitchen, and cross-contact is possible.

For this reason, my products are best described as gluten-friendly and may not be suitable for individuals with Celiac disease or severe gluten allergies. I know everyone is different and some require a dedicated oven which I do not have at this time.

If you have questions about ingredients or cross-contact, please contact me before ordering.

Common Ingredients Used

Dye-Free Coloring Policy

Products are made using naturally derived food colors and are free of artificial dyes. The main brand I use is The Sugar Art natural food coloring. Black cocoa powder is sometimes used for darker colors and small amounts of Sunny Side Up white coloring (glycerin, titanium dioxide) for whitening buttercream when necessary.

**I occasionally use a small amount of food-grade activated coconut charcoal powder to achieve black icing/buttercream. The amount per cookie/cupcake is very minimal compared to taking activated charcoal as a supplement, however, because activated charcoal may interfere with the absorption of some medications, I'm happy to discuss alternatives for customers who might have concerns.

Please Note: cookie decorating classes use traditional food coloring/dyes due to cost and class logistics.

Allergen Information

My products may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including:

✅ Eggs (meringue powder and dough/batter)
✅ Dairy (butter and milk)
✅ Tree nuts (possible depending on flavoring used like almond extract)

Almond flavoring is optional and is only used when selected for an order.

Nuts & Peanut Policy

I do not work in a nut-free facility, and cross-contact with nuts is possible.

If you have a nut allergy, please reach out before ordering so we can discuss whether my cookies are a safe fit for you.

Ingredient Lists

Ingredient lists can vary slightly depending on the recipe and flavor selected. If you need a detailed ingredient list for a specific order, I’m happy to provide it—just contact me before placing your order.

Kitchen & Food Safety Notes

All cookies are made in a private home kitchen under Cottage Law and not subject to state licensing or inspection. While I take great precautions and care using clean equipment and safe handling practices, I cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

Questions?

If you have dietary concerns, allergies, or ingredient questions, please contact me before ordering. I’m always happy to help you choose the best option.
