Allergens & traces (please read)
Contains: GLUTEN (WHEAT), EGGS, MILK. Many designs also contain or may contain SOYA (commonly present in confectionery coatings/colours).
Trace / cross-contamination notice: Our POPs are made in a kitchen that handles major allergens. We cannot guarantee our products are free from traces of allergens including (but not limited to) nuts.
If you have a severe allergy, please contact us before ordering.
Do you offer nut-free / dairy-free / egg-free / gluten-free?
At the moment, we can’t guarantee free-from variants due to how and where we produce and decorate POPs.
E-numbers, colours & additives
Some bright colours, sprinkles, and decorative elements may contain additives and E-numbers (varies by colour/brand). If you want to avoid artificial colours, message us before ordering and we’ll advise what’s possible for your design.
Shelf life, storage & freezing
Fridge: Best enjoyed within 10 days when stored in the fridge in the original box or an airtight container.
Freezer: Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge (keep them boxed to reduce condensation on the coating).
How big are the POPs?
POP size: roughly 4–5 cm (golf-ball size) when round.
Total length with stick: approximately 15 cm.
Minimum order & mixing designs
Minimum order: 10 POPs per order and (unless stated otherwise on a product) 10 POPs per design.
If you want multiple designs, order in multiples of 10 per design.
Bespoke designs & edible logos
Yes — we do bespoke. Send us:
- Your inspiration image(s)
- Quantity
- Date needed
- Delivery postcode
- Any dietary/allergen requirements
Logos / photos: We can usually add edible prints. For best results, provide a high-res PNG/SVG and confirm brand colours.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Because POPs are made to order, changes/cancellations depend on whether production has started.
Best practice: message us ASAP with your order number and what you need changed — we’ll do our best.
Can I add a gift message?
- Made to Order: custom notes are not always available (product dependent).
- Ready to Go: usually includes space for a short handwritten message on/inside packaging.
If your order is a gift and you’re unsure, message us before checkout and we’ll confirm what’s available for that product.
Packaging (boxes, protection, gift wrap)
Orders are packaged in our signature POP Bakery boxes with protective paper to help keep POPs safe in transit.
- Warm weather: we may include ice pouches to reduce heat impact.
- Gift-wrap: available on selected products/collections (where shown).
