Why I started baking without chemicals (and why it matters)

I'm a teen baker in Syracuse, Indiana and I've been making everything by hand since I was a kid.


A while back I started paying attention to ingredient labels. Most store-bought baked goods have 20+ ingredients — half of which are preservatives, stabilizers, or dyes you can't pronounce. You don't need any of that to make something delicious.


Everything I bake at Herford's Confections is made with:

  • Real butter, flour, eggs, and sugar — no fillers

  • Zero artificial preservatives or chemicals

  • Ingredients you can actually recognize


And I always tell you exactly what's in your order. If you have an allergy or want to swap an ingredient, just ask — I'll work with you.


Prices are kept affordable because I'm just starting out and I want people to actually try it.


New customers get a free sample with their first order. If you've been looking for homemade goods you can actually trust, check out Herford's Confections. 🍪
