I love simplicity in baking. My idea of a perfect cake is "naked" or "near-naked" with fresh fruit on top and in between, so that it's not too sweet but you still get all the beautiful flavors that make a cake so great. To me, a cake should be a refreshing and indulgent treat that doesn't leave you feeling weighted down or sluggish.

Put in your orders for an Apple Pie or Red, White, and Blue cupcakes! Only fresh apples, and organic unrefined sugar is used in my pies, no canned apple pie filling here, with a gluten free and/or dairy free pie crust! The cupcakes are gluten and dairy free, using organic sugar as well!

Apple Pie - $30
Red, White, and Blue cupcakes - $20 for 1/2 dozen, or $35 for a dozen

Welcome to my page! Here you will find a weekly rotation of homemade baked goods that fulfil dietary restrictions or preferences you might have!

I went gluten free in 2012, and realized it was almost impossible to find bakery treats for gluten free, let alone the dairy free I later needed when I had kids. I've spent the last decade learning different recipes for our different stages of life, and then learning techniques to bring the best texture and flavor out in each recipe.

You won't find keto recipes here since our family doesn't do dairy. What you will find is a plethora of gluten free, dairy free and Paleo style recipes that I love. I use organic, natural or local as much as possible. Breads are made with wheat flour or gluten free flour. All my wheat flour is unbleached, unrefined, not enriched, and organic when possible. I do make dairy buttercream, and even the butter is grass fed 😁

Sometimes people complain about the price of allergen friendly treats. I strive to keep my overhead low, bake orders as they come and utilize the most out of my ingredients to keep my costs and prices reasonable for families.

I look forward to helping provide your family with treats and foods that you can eat without guilt or worry. From celebrations to casual indulgence, I'm your girl for gluten free!
