Notes

For people who have Food Allergies: Be aware of baking sprays that can contain common food allergens such as peanuts/tree nuts/soy.
Always start with brand new ingredients to prevent cross contamination/cross contact with food allergens.
Wash hands thoroughly in soapy hot water.
Before baking, text photos of all ingredients to food allergy person/parent for ok.
When in doubt, don't eat something questionable.
Enjoy!!
