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. 🍪
