Sun Dec 31 18:33:13 -0800 2006 21323 shanirum 1 2141848 can you make your own? Most bakeries probably use nuts and seeds somewhere in their kitchens so it would not be safe for somebody with a severe nut allergy. Sun Dec 31 18:41:59 -0800 2006 2141831 22559 smartie 1 2141898 I've never heard of a nut-free bakery in either the kosher or unkosher world. Too specific a request, and nuts are essential ingredients in too many desserts. I'm with the other poster -- bake some on your own. You can use a mix, and instant icing, if you have no time. Sun Dec 31 19:03:53 -0800 2006 2141831 15994 Clarissa 1 2141901 paskes has a nut free factory, don't know if they bake there. I would do it myself. Sun Dec 31 19:04:29 -0800 2006 2141831 39503 pitagirl 1 2141906 yep get out the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines mixes. Anyway they are really good and you can make them fresh and warm for tea. Sun Dec 31 19:06:27 -0800 2006 2141831 22559 smartie 1 2142084 Bageltown in West Hempstead used to be a nut free establishment.They have a small selection of baked goods. I would call ahead to make sure that they are still nut free and place an order. Good luck. 486-488 Hempstead Ave. (516) 505-5556 Sun Dec 31 20:29:32 -0800 2006 2141831 30002 inky 2 2142280 They still are peanut free. In fact some local schools request that you buy baked goods from them if you are bringing treats to a school birthday party. Sun Dec 31 22:07:11 -0800 2006 2142084 14992 sl96 1 2142326 Thanks for the ideas, however because of kashrus reasons we are only allowed to bring bakery items with proper certification (the party will be in school on school time). I called Bageltown in W. Hempstead - I have to check with my school if they accept their certification. If yes, I will go there. Sun Dec 31 22:33:14 -0800 2006 2141831 21323 shanirum 2 2143934 I believe that HALB exclusively uses them (will not allow products from another bakery). HANC uses them a lot and though they are not exclusive there, the owners send their kids to TAG (the bais yaakov of Long Island) and have brought their products into the school as well.
