Does anyone know if the cupcakes sold at Baked By Melissa stores are the ones shipped directly from the main kitchen? According to their website, the products are certified kosher if shipped, but not in the stores. The kitchen is certified OK kosher, but the stores are not because they are open 7 days/week. I'm curious if any cupcakes are baked on premises, or if they are simply shipped from the main kitchen to the store and sold. TIA.

A: All of our products are baked in a central dairy Kosher certified kitchen, and are distributed to our store locations daily. While our kitchen is certified by OK Kosher, our store locations are not since we are open seven days/week. According to OK Kosher’s level of certification, re-handling our products on non-kosher premises breaks the Kosher seal.
