Our chef brings industry-level technique and discipline to every product—ensuring the highest level of skill, sanitation, and consistency.

Although Bar & Batter operates as a cottage bakery, we maintain our workspace to restaurant-grade cleaning standards, including:

​

• Frequent sanitation of high-touch surfaces

• Full equipment cleaning before and after production

• Proper labeling and safe storage of ingredients

• Strict cross-contamination prevention procedures

​

Cleanliness, organization, and safety are non-negotiable in our kitchen.

Bar & Batter operates fully within Maryland Cottage Food Law.

To maintain compliance:

• Required ingredients and recipes are submitted for review

• Products needing verification are laboratory tested and approved

• Only non-potentially hazardous foods are produced and sold

• Labels and disclosures meet all state guidelines

​

We maintain full transparency and go above and beyond state requirements.

Many of our desserts are inspired by spirits—but always created with safety and compliance in mind. We follow all regulations set by the Maryland Alcohol, Tobacco, and Cannabis Commission (ATCC):

​

• All alcohol-infused items remain below the 5% ABV limit
• Products exceeding 0.5% ABV may only be sold to customers 21+
• Age confirmation is required at checkout for compliant products

​

Our recipes that involve alcohol reduction or post-bake additions are tested and documented as required.
