About Like Home
Like Home is an American bakery brand specialising in individually-wrapped cakes, croissants and donut cakes, inspired by traditional home-bake recipes. The range covers chocolate-filled croissants, sponge cakes, donut cakes and cream-filled novelty formats, each pack designed to deliver homemade flavour at convenience-store accessibility. Like Home has built a niche in UK specialist sweet retail as a difficult-to-find American import format that supermarkets don't typically stock.

Ingredients and allergens
Like Home cakes and croissants are made with wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils, eggs, milk and milk derivatives, cocoa (in chocolate variants), natural and artificial flavourings, raising agents, and preservatives for the long ambient shelf life. Most products contain wheat, milk and egg as core ingredients, so they are not vegan, not gluten-free, and not dairy-free. The brand is not formally halal certified across the range. Made in facilities that may handle soya and nuts. Always check the back of each individual pack for the most accurate allergen and dietary information.
Who Like Home is for
American bakery import buyers: Like Home delivers the soft, individually-wrapped American bakery format that UK supermarkets do not stock. The croissants and donut cakes are noticeably different in texture and sweetness from British equivalents like Mr Kipling or Cadbury Mini Rolls.
Lunchbox and packed-lunch shoppers: the 40g to 55g individually-wrapped format works well for school lunchboxes, office snack drawers and on-the-go snacking. Long ambient shelf life means stocking up makes sense.
Gift-pack assemblers: the variety of formats (croissant, donut cake, sponge cake, novelty ball) allows for varied American-themed gift selections. Pair with our Cadbury world imports and Reese's ranges for fuller American gift hampers.
Family snack stockers: the multipack-friendly format and long shelf life make Like Home suitable for households that want a stockable, single-portion American snack supply, similar to how Hostess Twinkies fill the same role in the US market.

Like Home cakes: frequently asked questions
What is Like Home?
Like Home is an American bakery brand specialising in individually-wrapped cakes, croissants and donut cakes. The brand's positioning is around homemade-style recipes delivered in a long-shelf-life, convenience-store format. The products are not widely stocked in UK supermarkets and are mainly available through specialist American import retailers.
Are Like Home cakes vegetarian or halal?
Most Like Home cakes are vegetarian-suitable since they contain no meat-derived ingredients, but they typically contain milk and egg so are not vegan or dairy-free. The brand is not formally halal certified across the range. Always check the back of each individual pack for the specific dietary status of the product you're buying.
What's the difference between Like Home croissants and supermarket croissants?
Like Home croissants are American-style: softer, sweeter, individually wrapped and built for long ambient shelf life, with a cream filling baked through the centre. Supermarket croissants in the UK typically follow the French style: flakier, less sweet, sold fresh from the in-store bakery without filling. They are essentially different product formats with the same name.
How long do Like Home cakes stay fresh?
Like Home cakes and croissants carry a long ambient shelf life, typically several months from manufacture. Each cake or croissant is individually wrapped to maintain freshness. They need no refrigeration, which is what makes them suitable for lunchboxes, office snack drawers and stockpile-style household buying. Specific best-before dates appear on the back of each pack.
