Frequently asked questions

"Home-produced" is a designation for any bakery that is operated in a non-commercial kitchen. Depending on the licensing, home kitchens may or may not use commercial equipment, and there are restrictions on what types of items may be produced and sold.

No. Our bakery is produced in a facility that processes nuts, eggs, wheat, dairy and soy products.

No. We are a custom-order bakery, which means that we only make what our customers order. We never stock bakery for later sale, so your order is always fresh upon delivery.

It depends on what you mean by "wedding cake"! While we love a beautifully decorated tiered wedding cake, it's simply not what we do. We do, however, offer lovely white wedding cake cupcakes (https://www.thecountryoven.com/product-page/white-wedding-cupcake)(and other flavors) for the growing number of couples looking for something a little different on their special day.

No. We are a delivery-only bakery. We deliver to Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties in Northeast Ohio. For a list of delivery communities, click here.(https://www.thecountryoven.com/our-delivery-area) We can also meet you at a location nearby if it's more convenient.

Yes! We offer cupcakes for special occasions. Go to Shop, then Special Occasion Cupcakes to see our selection of exclusive designs for everything from birthday parties to seasonal celebrations.

We ask that larger orders be placed at least10 business days before the date of delivery. This ensures that all components of the design can be obtained (if necessary) and the order completed in time.

We never use preservatives, so our bakery has a shorter "shelf life" than you might be used to with store-bought. We recommend that you consume it within 3 days at room temperature, 5 days refrigerated, or freeze for up to 2 months for best flavor.
