Good things to know before ordering
How long do the bakes last?
Brownies, blondies and cookie bars are best enjoyed within 5 days of dispatch. Flapjacks keep beautifully for up to 7 days when stored well.
How should I store them?
Keep your treats sealed in an airtight container at room temperature. For a firmer texture, you can chill them and bring them back to room temperature before serving.
Can I freeze them?
Yes. Wrap slices well, freeze for up to 3 months, then defrost at room temperature. Warm brownies briefly for that fresh-baked feel.
Where do you deliver?
Little Bear Bakes is based at Durhamgate, Spennymoor. Choose collection or tracked UK delivery for £4.50. Check Facebook for the weekly bake list before ordering.
Do you handle allergens?
All bakes are made in a kitchen that handles gluten, milk, eggs, soya, nuts and peanuts. Please check each product page before ordering.
Can I add a gift message?
Yes. Add a note at checkout and we will include it with the box, without pricing details.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Use the cake enquiry form for made-to-order cakes, or message Little Bear Bakes on Facebook for the latest availability and celebration bake options.
