Lab Tested Recipes

Every recipe has been tested by an accredited laboratory for pH and water activity. I show you the test results for every recipe, regardless of whether the recipe is TCS or NTCS. I truly believe there is value in knowing if a recipe is TCS, even if Texas law doesn't allow us to sell it!

Value

These two e-books contain thousands of dollars worth of testing results for only $20, saving you time and money.

Knowledge is power

Have you ever wondered exactly what factors determine if food requires time and temperature control for safety? I explain the factors in basic terms and include a visual chart on every recipe to show why that recipe is TCS or NTCS.

Delicious Results

Every recipe is a tried and true recipe that will not fail. These are recipes you can build your business on. Your customers will love the products you provide to them!

What frostings and fillings can I sell?

All foods sold under the Texas Cottage Food Law must not require time or temperature control for safety (TCS). But it’s almost impossible to be sure that a frosting or filling is not temperature controlled for safety (NTCS) without having it tested. That’s why I had over 50 different recipes tested by an accredited laboratory, and I’m offering the recipes and test results in my e-books: Come and Bake It: Original and Come and Bake It: Pumpkin Spice Edition.

Happy Customers

"I bought your recipe book because I needed to work on a NPH buttercream and my local health inspector required me to have the recipe tested by a lab. I made your Swiss buttercream and sent a sample to [a lab]. It came back with similar numbers you provided and my Food Service License was therefore approved! Thank you so much for providing me with your research and expertise. Without your book I would not have been able to start this new pastry business!"

"The book is fabulous!! Have yet to try a recipe that isn't amazing! Eye opener! And if anyone here has any hesitation about the book... it is well worth it!! The best money I have spent on a recipe book ever!"

"What a great job on Come and Bake It 2. LOVE it. Well thought out, and SO many recipes. I can sell what I make with confidence, knowing the recipe I used was tested and proven safe. I'm grateful to have this helpful tool as I continue to bake from home."

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for the new recipes in Come and Bake It Fall version! I've been trying to find fillings that are non-potentially hazardous and it's been an uphill road. Imagine my delight at so many fruit-based fillings! Keep up the good work Kelley; we appreciate it!"

As a previous Connecticut cottage baker, this was a life saver. I make all my buttercreams from these books. I was the first in my town to apply for a license and what a joy it was when they approved it. Now as a Texas baker the transition was really smooth. These books are definitely the backbone of my business.
