Cake Labels

No celebration is complete without a cake. It is is inevitable on any of the following occasions:

  • Birthday
  • Wedding
  • Bridal or baby shower
  • Engagement party
  • Anniversary
  • Graduation

Though a cake’s taste is undoubtedly very important, bakers and event planners are often more interested in how it looks. A big part of its presentation is the packaging and cake label that can give important additional information about the cake and its makers.

According to the U.S. labeling regulations, all food sold to customers must be packaged and labeled, but exemptions are possible for small businesses who specialize in making and selling wedding cakes, cakes for restaurants, etc. However, even if you are exempt from having to label your product, you still must have the ingredients information ready to show at a customer’s request.

Cottage Food Labeling Regulations

Home based cake businesses are required to follow their state’s regulations on cottage food labeling. Each state has its own regulations, but all of them require cake labels to include the following:

  • Product name
  • Manufacturer’s name and address
  • Net weight in US and metric measures
  • List of ingredients in order of predominance by weight
  • A sentence stating that the product is home produced

If you use a cake mix for your cake product, you must state that in the list of ingredients, and list all the mix ingredients in parenthesis.

Cake manufacturers who make no health claims (such as “low sugar” or “organic”) don’t need to include a nutrition facts label on their cake packaging, but they still need to label their product with information about the manufacturer, net weight and ingredients.
