Allergen & Safety Disclaimer

Aunty Snalex is a small home bakery in Den Haag. Every pastry is handmade with care, but the kitchen is not allergen-free. Please read this page carefully before placing an order.

Allergens Used in the Kitchen

My kitchen regularly handles:

• Gluten (wheat)
  
• Dairy
  
• Eggs
  
• Tree nuts (hazelnut, pecan, pistachio, almond, etc.)
  
• Peanuts
  
• Soy
  
• Sesame
  
• Coconut
  

Even if a specific pastry doesn’t contain one of these ingredients, cross-contamination is always possible because everything is baked in the same small space.

If you have a severe allergy, please be aware that I cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free product.

Ingredients and allergens for each item are always listed on the product page.

Food Safety & Freshness

All pastries are baked fresh for each order.

Once you collect your box, keeping it safe becomes your responsibility — but don’t worry, it’s simple.

Here’s some general advice how to love and care for your pastries:

Room-Temperature Storage

For items like:

• cookies
  
• blondies/bars
  
• muffins
  
• buns
  
• financiers
  

Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Soft pastries stay fresh for 2–3 days, and most cookies and bars can keep their spark for 4-5 days.

Refrigeration

Some items last longer in the fridge, especially if they contain:

• fresh fruit
  
• cream cheese
  
• frangipane
  
• fillings that are moist or perishable
  

Place them in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 3–4 days.

Let chilled pastries come back to room temperature before eating — they taste much better.

Freezing (if you really want to save them for later)

Most muffins, buns, blondies, and cookies freeze well.

To freeze:

• Wrap individually
  
• Place in an airtight container or freezer bag
  
• Freeze for up to 3 months
  

Let them thaw at room temp or warm them gently in the oven for that freshly-baked feeling.

Handling Your Box

• Keep pastries out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
  
• Don’t leave the box in a hot car.
  
• If you’re walking or biking home, try to keep the box level (your future self will thank you).
  
• Eat delicate pastries first — they’re more fragile and taste best fresh.
