Bitty Birds Bakery

11/11/2026

A little reminder because apparently this needs another flap around the internet! 😂💛

I’ve had a surge in requests just this week for cakes, cupcakes, and treat platters needed within a few days, so I figured it was time to dust off this post!

As much as I’d love to say yes to everyone, Bitty Birds does not accept same-week orders. My production schedule is booked in advance, and squeezing in last-minute orders simply isn’t possible.

Please remember that custom orders require a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice, and cakes and cupcakes are currently sitting at 2-3 depending on size. These are minimums, not guarantees of availability!

I’m currently fully booked until November 24th.

I love that you all want my baking, but even these little wings have their limits!

Thanks for understanding and for keeping this little bakery so busy!

A little Bitty Birds PSA about order timelines!

This little bakery has grown a LOT over the past year. Between new wholesale partners, a second market, and a much fuller production schedule, my tiny wings are flapping pretty hard these days. 😂💛

While I’m investigating options to expand production, that process involves space, equipment, paperwork, money, labour, and all sorts of other delightfully boring grown-up things — so for now, I need to be a little firmer about what I can fit into the schedule.

Any custom order requires AT LEAST 2 weeks notice.

And that includes market pickups for items I was not already planning to bring. If it wasn’t already on my production list, it counts as a custom order.

For cakes and cupcakes, the minimum lead time is now 4 weeks.

These are minimums, and availability can fill up even earlier.

This is the part I really need everyone to hear: I can’t make exceptions to these timelines. One little last-minute order doesn’t seem like much, but several “just one quick thing” requests add up very quickly

I absolutely love that so many of you want Bitty Birds treats, and I’m working toward being able to make more of them. Until then, ordering early helps me keep everything running smoothly, safely, and without the baker becoming completely unhinged or spontaneously combusting.

Thank you for helping this little bakery grow and I hope everyone can understand.

🎄 Christmas at Bitty Birds is going to look a little different this year! ❤️

We're doing something a little different with our Christmas menu this season.

Instead of trying to make a little bit of everything, I'm focusing on making more of the things you love most!

One of the challenges of running a small bakery is balancing variety with volume. And when Christmas rolls around, I know how important it is for everyone to be able to get their favourite gluten-free goodies for their holiday celebrations.

So this year, we're keeping the menu smaller and focusing on our most popular products. The goal is simple: spend less time juggling dozens of different things and more time making the favourites that so many of you look forward to.

Don't worry, there will still be plenty of deliciousness! Think cinnamon buns, butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, and a few special holiday assortments. 🍪

And yes, there will be some savoury favourites too!

I'll be sharing the full Christmas menu when preorders officially open on Saturday, November 21.

🎄 Christmas preorders will be open November 21 – December 11, with all orders placed through our website.

I'm really looking forward to baking for your holiday tables again this year. Whether it's Christmas morning breakfast, dessert after dinner, or a treat shared with someone you love, I want there to be something delicious that everyone can enjoy. ❤️

Now I'm curious... what Bitty Birds favourite are you hoping makes the Christmas menu this year? 👀

24 cookies. Four flavours. One very delicious countdown to Christmas!

Let's talk about the cookies inside this year's Bitty Birds Advent Calendars!

If you've had our cookies before, you know we don't exactly believe in making them small. Our regular bakery cookies are BIG!

But for our Advent Calendars, we've made them bite sized. Still the same delicious Bitty Birds goodness, just the perfect size for enjoying a little treat every day as we count down to Christmas.

Each calendar includes:

🍪 24 cookies

❤️ Four different flavours, with six of each

🌱 Completely gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan!

And don't forget, there's a little something extra waiting behind Day 25 — a miniature build-your-own gingerbread house! 🏠

Because nobody should have to miss out on the fun of a Christmas countdown just because they need gluten-free treats.

🎄 Preorders are open now!
https://bittybirdsbakery.square.site/product/advent-calendar/MOJNVDXB3XTXYROW42OFADOZ

🛒 Order through our website until November 20, with pickup available in Iroquois, Brockville, Kemptville or Monday Nutrition.

Which cookie flavour would you be hoping to find behind that first door? 🍪❤️

🍎 Apple Fritter Friday is back, too! Gluten-free, vegan, and covered in that glorious glaze.

🏆 The butter tart competition results are in!

And for our first time competing, I’m pretty darn happy!

There was no gluten-free category, which meant Bitty Birds went head-to-head with other professional bakeries. No separate category, no special treatment. Just butter tarts against butter tarts.

So how did we do?

🥧 Plain: Tied for 7th out of 12 entries!

🥧 Traditional: 9th out of 26 entries!

🍋 Special Ingredients: Our Lemon Meringue placed 17th out of 49 entries!

My goal was to crack the top 10, and we managed it in TWO categories! Not too shabby for our first rodeo.

And here’s where it gets funny. We tied with Loughlin’s in the plain category. Yes, the same Loughlin’s that sells our butter tarts. 😂

Apparently that wasn’t enough bonding, because we tied AGAIN in Special Ingredients, with our Strawberry Jalapeño and their Blueberry Pancake Breakfast both placing 25th.

I think it’s safe to say our bakeries are even more closely tied now! 🤣

But here’s my favourite part of the whole experience.

We’re a bakery that happens to be gluten-free. And these results are a pretty great reminder that gluten-free baking can absolutely hold its own.

No asterisks required.

A huge thank you to everyone who supports Bitty Birds, buys our treats, and cheers us on. You’re the reason I get to keep doing what I love (and occasionally entering butter tarts into competitions to prove a point). 💜

First competition in the books. Now, about next year… 👀

Did you know there’s more to us than just baking?

Every Thursday I pick a new blog post covering gluten-free living, tips, education, and the occasional rant about the joys of navigating a gluten-free world from the blog and share it over here.

This week’s topic? Why is gluten-free food so darn expensive?!

If you enjoy the bakery but want more of the lifestyle side of things, hop over and give The Gluten Free Lady a follow!

Same person behind the scenes, just a little less baking and a lot more gluten-free chaos! 💜

You asked, we listened… and our Christmas Advent Calendar is BACK! 🎄🍪

After two years of feedback, we're going back to what you loved — 24 days of cookies! Four delicious flavours, six of each, and a little something extra for Christmas Day!

We've made a few changes this year, too! ❤️

🍪 All cookies, all December! Just pop them in the freezer and pull out one (or a couple 😉) at a time to thaw.

💰 A little easier on the wallet! We've adjusted the cookie sizes and selection to help bring down the cost without losing the goodness.

🌱 More inclusive! All four cookie recipes are gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan!

🏠 And for Day 25? A mini build-your-own gingerbread bird house!

Because Christmas traditions should be something everyone gets to enjoy. ❤️

🎄 Website preorders open November 7–21!

📍 Pickup November 27 in Iroquois and Brockville, and November 28 in Kemptville.

Always suspiciously good. 🐥❤️
