Do you use organic or sustainable ingredients - and where do you source them?
Yes! Every item baked at Allie Bakes is made with organic, and wherever possible sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. Below is a list of the products consistently used in my baked goods:
BUTTER: Straus Family Creamery, California
EGGS: Organic and regenerative New Barn Organics, California
MILK + CREAM: Straus Family Creamery, California
SOUR CREAM: Straus Family Creamery, California
FLOUR: Central Milling Organic, California + Tehachapi Grain Project, California
STRAWBERRIES: Harry’s Berries when in season, California
CHOCOLATE: Chocosphere, Oregon
What is your most popular cake?
My Lemon Blueberry Cake is the most popular. When I ask people how they found me it is often because of this cake. Apparently not a lot of people make them. It is delicious I have to say.
How long do I need to allow for placing an Allie Bakes order?
Please place all orders three-days ahead of when you need to pick up or need delivered.
Do you make Dog Treats?
Yes I do make Pup Cakes, biscuits and special order Gotcha and Birthday Cakes. For the most part the dog treats I make are donated for Husky Rescue fundraisers and other neighborhood dog events.
Do you have a store?
No, my home is my store! Allie Bakes is a Cottage Food Operation (CFO) under the California Homemade Food Act. I have a Class A Permit registered with the Los Angeles Health Department to bake and sell from my home kitchen directly to clients for pick-up, delivery and shipping wherever possible. Hearty cookies and flour and such. Cakes don’t ship well I am afraid.
How many KCRW Good Food Pie Contest Ribbons have you won?
Five! I have no idea how this has happened. My first out of body experience at the pie contest was when I won a First Place Ribbon for Best Savory Pie, for which I then won Best In Show. “La Poule au Pot Galette is a famous savory bake by baker Allison Brooker. It won Best in Show at the 6th Annual KCRW Good Food Pie Contest. The unconventional win sparked a famous, humorous debate among the judges because it was technically a free-form galette rather than a traditional pie.”
In addition, I have received two third Place Ribbons for my ChocoPomStachio Pie, just recently for my Strawberry Picnic Pie, and a Second Place Ribbon for my Beachwood Banana’s Foster Pie. A true party in a plate!
