What is in a Zac and Lily mix?
Basically all the dry ingredients you’ll need to make something tasty. Flour, baking powder, chocolate chips, yeast etc all weighed out and ready to go. Some of our mixes are divided into 2 or 3 bags as you need to add the ingredients at different stages. The instructions are written (and tested) with children in mind, so they are very simple with no technical baking jargon. You will need to add butter usually and maybe an egg or milk, what you’ll need is listed on the website and on the packaging.
We don’t use any strange sounding preservatives or additives, just ingredients that a keen amateur baker would have in their cupboard. Our products aren’t organic but we only use the best ingredients (Belgian chocolate, Madagascan vanilla) to ensure that when you decide to treat your children to some baking fun, the results will be really tasty and something they’ll be proud of.
We believe that children shouldn’t eat biscuits and cookies every day, but when they do they should know what goes into making them and the fun that can be had in the kitchen. That knowledge might just spark an interest in creating delicious food which could last them a lifetime.
Can you cater for food allergies?
Each product has its allergens listed within the product description. Get in touch to discuss any specific requests and we will always try to accommodate you. However please note that although strict cleansing and hygiene standards (5* food hygiene rating) are maintained the Zac and Lily kitchen is not an allergen free zone.
What will the ‘use by’ date on my item be?
All of our products will have at least 3 months use by dates on them, usually longer.
Can you create something bespoke for me or my company?
