FAQs
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a protein naturally found in some grains including wheat, barley, and rye. It acts like a binder, holding food together and adding a “stretchy” quality—think of a pizza maker tossing and stretching out a ball of dough. Without gluten, the dough would rip easily.
What are health benefits to gluten free products?
Here is a great article from Harvard that explains both pros and cons of gluten in your diet.
What substitute ingredients do you use?
At our bakery, we proudly use King Arthur’s gluten-free flour blend, made with a mix of tapioca, rice, sorghum, and potato starch. You’ll also find almond flour, oat flour, and rice flour featured in many of our recipes. Want to know exactly what’s in your dessert? Just check the ingredients list—we’re always transparent about the substitutes we use.
For our dairy-free creations, we swap out traditional dairy with plant-based butter and either almond or oat milk. And if you’re looking for sugar-free options, we sweeten our treats with a blend of monk fruit and erythritol.
We’re passionate about crafting delicious desserts that everyone can enjoy! 🍰🌱
Are your products certified gluten-free?
While we specialize in gluten-free treats, please be aware that we bake in shared spaces, so cross-contamination is a possibility. This also applies to nut products, including peanuts, almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
We take every precaution to ensure the safety and quality of our baked goods, but we want you to be fully informed. If you have severe allergies, please consider this when choosing our products. Your safety is our priority.
