Frequently asked questions
Baked by Meg is a small home-run bakery lovingly creating artisan, home-baked sweet treats to order. Every bento cake, cupcake, brownie and stuffed cookie is baked fresh from scratch in a registered, insured home kitchen using quality ingredients and a generous sprinkle of care. Whether you are after a heartfelt celebration cake, a box of indulgent brownies, or a personalised gift, each order is made just for you and decorated by hand.
The menu centres on four signature treats. Five-inch bento cakes come in vanilla, lemon, salted caramel or chocolate sponge with fillings such as strawberry jam, lemon curd, Biscoff or Nutella. Cupcakes are sold in boxes of six or twelve with your choice of flavours. Fudgy brownies can be topped with Freddos, Oreos, Twirls, Bueno or Ferrero Rocher, and stuffed cookies are filled with Biscoff, Bueno or Nutella spread.
Ordering is simple. Send an enquiry with your chosen date, whether you would like collection or delivery, your order and flavours, and any extras, themes or inspiration pictures. Quotes are tailored to your design and requirements, and larger or more bespoke orders are always welcome. To help everything run smoothly, please give as much notice as you can, especially for celebration cakes and bigger boxes.
How far in advance should I place my order?
As much notice as possible is always best, especially for celebration bento cakes and larger boxes. A week or two's notice usually gives me plenty of time to fit you in, though last-minute requests are always worth asking about. I will do my very best to help.
Do you offer delivery or collection?
Both are available. You can collect your order from our kitchen, or arrange delivery if you need it. Just let me know which you'd prefer when you send your enquiry, along with your date and address, and I'll confirm the details and any delivery fee.
What sponge flavours and fillings can I choose from?
Bento cakes and cupcakes come in vanilla, lemon, salted caramel or chocolate sponge. Fillings include strawberry jam, lemon curd, Biscoff and Nutella. Stuffed cookies are filled with Biscoff, Bueno or Nutella spread, and brownies can be topped with a wide range of chocolate bars and treats. For any other flavours or filling please do enquire :)
Can you cater for allergies or dietary requirements?
I operate in a home kitchen that handles gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts, so I cannot guarantee a fully allergen-free environment. If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, please mention it in your enquiry and I will happily advise on what's possible and help you choose safely.
How much do your treats cost?
Bento cakes start at £45 with five cupcakes included, cupcakes are £16 for a box of six or £30 for twelve, brownies are £18 for six or £34 for twelve, and stuffed cookies are £18 for six or £34 for twelve. Bespoke designs, extra toppings and larger quantities are quoted individually based on your requirements.
How do I place an order?
