FAQs

A cottage bakery is a bakery run out of our home kitchen.  The kitchen is certified by San Joaquin County Health, and we have all applicable business licenses, however we do not have a storefront.  Orders placed via the website are picked up from our home during the agreed to pick-up window.

Our cottage bakery is certified by San Joaquin Environmental Health Department.  We clean and sanitize prior to baking and perform frequent handwashing. 

We always want to know how we are doing.  Send us feedback to krista@squaresbakeshop.com

We do not have regular operating hours with a storefront, orders must be placed in advance with a pickup date and time scheduled.  We are generally open Monday through Saturday, but for specific pick-up time, refer to the order check out.  We are always closed on Sunday.

We do not bake in an allergen-free environment. While we do have select products that
do not contain dairy, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts or wheat, all of our products are baked in an environment where wheat, milk, peanuts, tree nuts,
eggs and soy may be present in high volumes. Due to the presence of these allergens at all of our baking facilities, we do not recommend consuming any of
our desserts if you are allergic to wheat, nuts, soy, dairy or eggs.

Our Squares do not need to be refrigerated, but should be kept in a cool, dry place prior to enjoying.

Dessert Squares can be kept up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If storing for longer, seal in an airtight container and place in the freezer for up to a month.

We cannot guarantee that any of our products are allergen-free because we use shared equipment to create, prepare, bake, store and serve our Squares.  We do our best to control cross-contamination but cannot guarantee it does not happen.  Customers with allergies can find ingredient information for products on the labels of our products or online at SquaresBakeShop.com.
