How will my student receive their care package?

All Biola student care packages are hand delivered to your student on campus. I use the cell phone number you provide on the order form to arrange a time to meet on campus. In rare cases when the student isn’t responsive, I leave the care package with Mail Services, and the student receives a notification they have a perishable item to pick up during business hours.

Do you accommodate food allergies?

I offer gluten-free options, and some of my cookies are nut-free or soy-free without modification.

I am certified in safe food handling, and I list every ingredient to be sure those with food allergies can identify allergens. Although I am careful, there is always a risk of cross contamination because I use products such as milk, eggs, gluten and nuts in my kitchen. I cannot guarantee a total absence of these products in any of my baked goods.

I hold Cottage Food license number PR0113999 from the County of Orange. This is a highly regulated process in which I had to submit all my products and ingredients, pass a food handler course and certify compliance with the processes of a home kitchen. You can read more about the Cottage Food act and its many regulations here.

Is it legal to bake at home?

How far in advance should I order?

Depending on the size of the order, lead time can be as little as two days. Next-day orders are sometimes possible, but please inquire first by emailing me at dolcevitabakeryoc@gmail.com.
