About Us
Here at Tickle Your Tummy, we offer a one-of-a-kind, 100%
nut-free shortbread cookie that is not only guaranteed to be kid-friendly and
classroom safe, but as delicious tasting as they are beautiful.
At Tickle Your Tummy we are inspired and dedicated to offering the very best in
quality, design and versatility with only the highest quality ingredients used. Our bakery adheres 100% to Federal Inspection Allergen Safety standards.
Each cookie is lovingly handcrafted out of a passion to bring beauty to the canvas of a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth butter cookie. There is simply no comparison.
Tickle Your Tummy was conceived in 2003 by owner, Jennifer Montoni, who discovered that her first born daughter was allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. As was the case, and is for so many other parents, this was a daunting discovery. Through perseverance and determination Jennifer sought to create a baked good that was not only 'safe' to eat, but that was fun for kids as well. This translated into the creation of our first and most fundamental product: our shortbread, decorated cookie. With so few ingredients to work with, Jennifer decided to create variety with art and thus evolved our large collection of designs. Our cookies are made with only the finest, simple whole ingredients of unbleached flour, butter, sugar, eggs, pure vanilla and baking powder. We strive to bring simplicity and 'home-baked' taste to each cookie. Our cookie is first rolled and hand-cut with our own customized, one-of-a-kind cookie cutters, then iced with a coating of royal icing, left to dry and then each hand-decorated with our unique and beautiful designs. Then package and seal each cookie individually to ensure the highest standards of freshness. Each individual bag is whimsically decorated with a colour-coordinated tulle ribbon to ensure the highest standards of freshness and nut-free safety. In all, the cookie requires three days from beginning to completion.
Over the years, we have been fortunate enough to grow and expand our product line, just recently adding custom cakes (and cupcakes) to our selection. This line of cakes follows in the same pattern as our cookies, being made from scratch and with only the finest quality ingredients. Our designs, like our cookies, are all hand drawn and we can customize to your any desire. We have also recently added the new Edible Image to enhance and personalize your cakes and cupcakes. We are also proud to offer chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies and brownies to our delectable line up. We are confident that you will enjoy, be proud and satisfied with each little masterpiece.
