Income and Donations

As I pledged on my About page, I’ll be donating any income generated by the Ugly Duckling Bakery blog. It may not be much for now, but everything has to start somewhere.

Gifting policy

I do occasionally accept gifts of food and kitchen-related products to try. If you would like me to consider this, please contact me using the brief form (below).

When I accept unpaid gifts, it is with the understanding that I will have no obligation to feature the product in a blog post or on social media in any way or to provide a review, positive or negative. I will disclose all gifts, and all links related to gifts will be “no follow.”
