Common questions about Cake and cookie bakers

Answering the most frequently asked questions about Cake and cookie bakers.

What if I miss a wedding delivery?2026-08-17T23:39:07-04:00

That’s a contract claim. E&O may respond; general liability won’t.

Do I need coverage to sell at markets?2026-08-17T23:39:06-04:00

Yes. Organizers require certificates, usually with them named as additional insured.

Am I covered delivering an order?2026-08-17T23:39:06-04:00

Only with hired and non-owned auto. Personal policies can deny business-use claims.

What’s my main liability?2026-08-17T23:39:05-04:00

Allergens. Undeclared ingredients are the leading claim, and labeling documentation is the defense.

Is my home kitchen covered by homeowners?2026-08-17T23:39:04-04:00

No. Business activity is excluded, so business property and liability need their own policy.

Is my delivery covered?2026-08-17T23:04:50-04:00

Only with hired and non-owned auto. Personal auto policies often deny business-use claims.

Do cottage food laws affect my coverage?2026-08-17T23:04:50-04:00

They affect what you can legally sell, which affects eligibility. Disclose your production setup accurately.

Yes, and it’s the defining claim. Ingredient documentation and clear labeling are your defense.

    I have been using Semper insured Landland for some years now. Stu has been very helpful and responses fast to any questions you need answers too. Sara has contacted me when he was busy. He has gotten the best health insurance each year … More for my needs. It’s hard living on only my widows disability and he has helped get my health care insurance as my needs change and within my budget.

    We are so thrilled to be working with Adam. From the get-go, he took the time to understand our business's needs and worked closely (and tenaciously) to assemble an insurance package that met our unique needs. He's shown himself … More to be diligent, contentious, and a true advocate -- in many ways it feels like Adam's become an extension of my team. In the months we've been working together I've really come to trust Adam, and feel his partnership as an agent reflects a knowledge of our business and its mission and a genuine energy to strengthen and protect our operation.
