Allergen Info

Allergy & Allergen Information

All of my products are made using 100% gluten-free ingredients.

My products are prepared in a shared home kitchen, where other allergens are present and handled at other times, including gluten, milk, egg, soya, nuts, tree nuts and sesame.

I take care to minimise the risk of cross-contamination when preparing my gluten-free bakes. I use separate baking trays, bowls, utensils and equipment for my gluten-free baking, which are not used for gluten-containing baking. Work surfaces and equipment are thoroughly cleaned before and after each bake.

However, because the kitchen is shared and gluten and other allergens are present at other times, I cannot guarantee that my products are completely free from traces of allergens.

If you have coeliac disease, a food allergy or a severe food sensitivity, please take this information into account and contact me before ordering if you have any questions about the suitability of a product.

Dairy-Free & Vegan Products

Our dairy-free and vegan products are made without milk ingredients. However, they are prepared in the same shared kitchen and using equipment that is also used for products containing milk, milk chocolate and egg.

As a result, dairy-free and vegan products may carry a “may contain milk” and/or “may contain egg” warning and cannot be guaranteed free from traces of these allergens.

If you have a milk or egg allergy, please contact me before ordering so I can discuss the product and its suitability with you.

About Mimi Bakes

I’ve been gluten free for over 7 years. For a long time, I thought I was simply intolerant to gluten, so I followed a strict gluten-free diet and became very used to having to think twice about what I could and couldn’t eat.

Over time, I realised it was a little more complicated than that. I was eventually diagnosed with severe IBS, and gluten and dairy are two of the triggers I’ve found my body can struggle with, alongside the impact that my mental health can have on my gut. I’m still figuring out exactly what my body can tolerate, but I’m in a much better place now and have learnt just how individual food can be for everyone.

That experience is a huge part of why I started Mimi Bakes.

I know how disheartening it can be when food starts to feel restrictive. When you're at a bakery or looking through a dessert menu and there’s little, or sometimes nothing, that you can actually enjoy. Food is such a big part of everyday life — it’s how we celebrate, socialise, treat ourselves and make memories — and I don’t think having an allergy or intolerance should mean missing out on that excitement.

I started baking my own treats because I wanted gluten-free food that I genuinely looked forward to eating. After years of testing, tweaking and perfecting my recipes, Mimi Bakes was born.

Mimi Bakes is all about creating gluten-free treats that don't feel like a compromise. From chunky cookies to cakes and traybakes, everything is made from scratch in small batches, with vegan and dairy-free options too.

Because everyone deserves to have something on the dessert table that they’re genuinely excited to eat. 🤎
