What is a Cottage Bakery?

A cottage bakery is a small, home-based bakery that operates under cottage food laws, allowing entrepreneurs to prepare and sell certain types of foods made in their personal kitchens. At Say It Ain’t Dough, this means all of our baked goods are lovingly made in a home kitchen—never mass-produced—so you get fresh, handcrafted items every time. We follow all local regulations to ensure our products are safe, delicious, and made with care. Supporting a cottage bakery means supporting local, small-batch baking with a personal touch!

Our bakery makes products with gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, egg, and other allergens. While we make every effort to avoid cross contamination, please be advised that cross contamination is always a risk.
