  special_requirements: ### Allergies
• All of our menus are nut-free. If you have a different dietary restriction, select a menu that clearly notes the allergen that will be avoided. While recipes will be free of those ingredients, we are not an allergy-free facility and use shared cooking tools. Give us a call to discuss allergy modifications beyond what is listed to ensure we are able to accommodate.

Outside Food (including Birthday Cakes)

As a general rule for the safety of all guests, we do not allow outside food. All of our menus are nut-free and we take food allergies very seriously. For kids' birthday parties, we do make limited exceptions only as outlined below. If you plan to bring in outside food, you must inform us at least 5 days prior to your event and an outside food fee will be added to your booking. All items must be nut-free and not require a heat source, refrigeration or freezer space. Plates, cups, utensils and napkins will be provided. Please bring these items with you when you arrive. No advanced deliveries will be accepted. Taste Buds Kitchen reserves the right to turn away any outside food that does not adhere to our policy.

• Birthday Cake - For savory menus, we always recommend our cupcake decorating add-on in lieu of a cake to enhance participant's hands-on culinary experience. If your selected menu already includes cupcakes, we'll simply add a candle to the birthday child's cupcake creation so it's photo-ready for the big "Happy Birthday" blowout moment. But if a full cake is a must-have family tradition, you may bring one. We'll cut and serve your cake to the guests when it's time to eat.

• Snacks for Chaperones – Though we strongly recommend parent drop-off for our birthday parties to keep the spotlight on the birthday child and their friends and due to space constraints, you may wish to provide light snacks for a small group of chaperones. Birthday parents may bring in up to two platters for their chaperone guests. Outside food must arrive on platters ready for service so adults can help themselves while our culinary crew focuses on leading the party experience for your child and friends.

• Snacks for Children – Party guests will make - and eat - the delicious menu you've selected! As our parties include plenty of food for the kiddos and participants will be engaged throughout the party, outside food is unnecessary and discouraged. Should you still feel the need to bring in something additional, snacks for the children must arrive ready for service so our team can pass them out when it’s time to eat.
  extras: ### Available Upgrades

• Cupcake Decorating - A perfect pairing with non-cupcake menus, we'll provide one freshly baked cupcake per child to decorate! A great option in lieu of bringing in a birthday cake.
• Milkshakes & Mix-ins - A perfect pairing with any menu, we'll make vanilla milkshakes customized with tasty mix-ins and toppings!
• Take-home aprons as party favors
• Lemonade

Drop-off Parties & Chaperone Limit

• We recommend a drop-off party. If parents would like to stay, we have a limit of one adult per child with the exception of the birthday child's parents and grandparents.

Birthday Celebration

• We'll sing happy birthday with the sweet treat that we create during your party! Those who select a savory menu will want to add-on cupcake decorating for the birthday blow out (which we strongly recommend).
