It all began in elementary school when Erin and a friend decided to bake chocolate chip cookies together. It was that initial bowl of batter that started Erin's baking buzz. She went on to attend York University, George Brown School of Culinary Arts and Fanshawe College's School of Culinary Training.

She started out baking birthday cakes and hand rolling truffles for family and friends. Eventually, she added cupcakes and cookies into the mix and sold them to paying customers. Now, The Dutchess of Dough has created her very own NUT FREE baking company. Over the years, the product line has grown in to a full service NUT FREE bakery, including cakes, cupcakes, sugar and gingerbread cookies as well as baking birthday parties!

After discovering her own allergy to nuts, Erin was limited to the types of desserts she could eat. The Dutchess of Dough is a 100% NUT FREE facility, enabling everyone to enjoy our products.
