Frequently asked questions
What allergens are commonly found in cupcakes?
Cupcakes typically contain these FDA major allergens: Wheat and Eggs. The exact allergens depend on the specific ingredients and brands you use — Quickly Cottage detects them automatically from your ingredient list.
Do I need to list sub-ingredients from a branded mix on my cupcakes label?
Yes. If you use a packaged ingredient like a cake mix, frosting, or chocolate coating, you must list its sub-ingredients on your label in the correct order. Quickly Cottage expands these automatically from our branded ingredient database, including Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, and Ghirardelli.
What does a compliant cottage food label for cupcakes need to include?
Every cottage food label needs the product name, a complete ingredient list in descending order by weight, all 9 FDA major allergens, net weight, your business name and address, and your state's required disclosure statement. Quickly Cottage builds all of this automatically for cupcakes.
Does my state's disclosure statement need to be on my cupcakes label?
Yes — every state with a cottage food law requires a specific disclosure statement on your label, and the exact wording varies by state. Quickly Cottage adds the correct language automatically based on your state.
Can I use Canva or Word to make my cupcakes labels?
You can design the visual layout in Canva or Word, but neither can auto-generate your ingredient list, detect allergens, or add your state's required disclosure statement. Quickly Cottage handles all of that automatically.
