Sullivan & Bleeker Baking Co. is Toronto's dedicated 100% peanut and tree nut-free bakery, and we've been making birthday celebrations safe and delicious since 2011. If you're looking for nut-free birthday treats and cupcakes in Toronto, you're in the right place.
Planning a birthday party when your child has a nut allergy can feel overwhelming. Between coordinating with the venue, managing the guest list, and making sure every treat is safe, parents tell us they lose sleep over birthday celebrations. Here's what we want you to know: your child's birthday should be joyful, not stressful.
Why Is Sullivan & Bleeker the Safest Choice for Nut-Allergic Kids in Toronto?
We've been baking nut-free birthday treats since 2011 and have celebrated thousands of Toronto birthdays. Here's what makes us different from other bakeries:
Is Sullivan & Bleeker a 100% Nut-Free Facility?
Yes. We are a dedicated 100% peanut and tree nut-free bakery, not just a bakery that offers nut-free options. Many bakeries prepare so-called "nut-free" items in the same kitchen where nut products are handled, which creates real cross-contamination risks for children with severe allergies.
At Sullivan & Bleeker, no nuts have ever entered our building. All our suppliers are verified nut-free, every ingredient is double-checked, and our staff is trained on allergy protocols. You can hand out cupcakes at your child's party knowing every single child is safe.
What Makes Sullivan & Bleeker Cupcakes Different From Grocery Store Options?
We use real butter, fresh local dairy, premium Belgian chocolate, and natural vanilla extract. Our cupcakes taste homemade because they are. We bake fresh daily, never day-old. Grocery store bakeries frequently rely on artificial flavours and margarine. Your child's birthday deserves better.
What Are the Most Popular Nut-Free Birthday Options?
1. The Dirty Dozen Assorted Cupcakes
Our bestselling Dirty Dozen gives you variety without the guesswork. One box includes 12 different gourmet flavours:
- Sundae (vanilla cake with strawberry frosting)
- Salted Caramel
- Chocolate
- S'mores
- Cookie Dough
- Red Velvet
- Oreo
- And 5 more!
Every kid finds a flavour they love. No complaints, no leftovers.
Pricing: $45 for regular size, $33 for mini cupcakes
2. Custom Character Cupcakes
Is your child obsessed with Spider-Man? Frozen? Bluey? We offer character-themed cupcakes featuring official licensed designs including Spider-Man, Barbie, Paw Patrol, Cocomelon, Disney Princesses, and more.
Each cupcake is hand-decorated with character rings, edible items, and themed frosting. They're Instagram-worthy and kid-approved.
3. Custom Colour Cupcakes
Planning a specific colour theme? Our custom colour cupcakes can match any party palette, from rainbow pride to elegant pastels to your child's favourite hockey team colours. Select your colours right on the product page.
4. Birthday Jarcakes
Hosting a party at a park, community centre, or anywhere without easy access to plates and forks? Our Birthday Jarcake Dozen is the answer. Each cupcake is baked directly into a sealed mason jar with a spoon included. No mess, no dishes, and kids love the novelty factor.
Do Toronto Schools Accept Sullivan & Bleeker Treats?
Yes. Toronto schools have varying policies on birthday treats, and our products are designed to meet them.
Most Toronto schools are nut-free and require treats to come from a nut-free facility or from a store-bought product with ingredient labels. Sullivan & Bleeker qualifies on both counts. We provide a printed ingredient list and an allergen statement confirming our nut-free facility with every order.
Many TDSB and TCDSB schools no longer accept home-baked goods. Our treats are professionally made, individually labelled, and safe for the whole class. No child needs to sit at an allergy table.
When you order for school, just let us know your school's requirements and we'll make sure you have everything you need, including individual wrapping and direct school delivery where available.
How Much Do Nut-Free Birthday Treats Cost in Toronto?
Cupcake Dozens:
- Mini cupcakes (12 servings): $33
- Regular cupcakes (12 servings): $45-60 depending on design
Cookie Packs:
- Mini cookie bags (14 cookies): $15.50
- Six-pack cookie bags: $15.50
- Single packed cookies: $3.50 each
Jarcakes:
- Dirty Dozen Jars: $64-72
- Individual jarcakes: $6.50-9.50 each
A few ways to keep costs down: mini cupcakes are perfectly portioned for kids, mixing cupcakes with cookie bags stretches your budget while adding variety, and picking up from our North York location saves you the delivery fee.
