Your Friend when Gluten Isn't

Thank you for visiting! We look forward to serving you. We believe that no one should have to compromise taste to meet dietary needs and preferences.
We bake fresh every day to give you the best experience we can. From flaky puff pastry dough to soft cake doughnuts, we give our best every day to provide you with delicious baked goods. We make our items from scratch, from marzipan to fruit fillings, we make it all on site so we can control what goes into each pastry. We hope you love everything as much as we do!
We are the only gluten free/peanut free facility in Santa Cruz County making sure your food is as safe as possible. Each pastry is freshly baked with your needs in mind.

We offer a variety of baked goods including bread, cakes, cookies, pastries, and pies.
Yes, all of our baked goods are made fresh daily using high quality ingredients.
We have developed our own flour mixes to closely match the texture of your gluten favorites. We use brown rice, white rice, sorghum, tapioca, potato, arrowroot and millet (in croissants only).
Our products are baked the morning you come in, so they should be fine sitting out for a day or so. After that, they are best frozen then reheated using a little moisture. Cakes, cupcake and pies are the only items we suggest you refrigerate.
We are acutely aware of food allergies, so feel free to ask us about any items. We are a peanut free facility. We do make some items with tree nuts, however, they are marked as such or you will be able to see the allergen on the top of the item (ie; bear claws have almonds on top). Products with chocolate chips are the only items that contain soy. We have many dairy free and egg free items as well. Please bend our ears if you have any concerns.
Everything we make can be special ordered for your needs. We need 24 hours advance notice for anything that is in our case daily. We will need 48 hours for specialty cakes or items we do not make every day.
We can make cakes to match most theme's to celebrate your child's special day.
Whether your party is huge, or just a few special people, we can make a cake tailored to your birthday wishes.
Time flies while your family grows up! We can help you celebrate the biggest moments of life.
A day like no other, we can provide cake and desserts for all of your guests. And they don't even need to know it's gluten free!
It's always hard to say goodbye, so let a cake do the talking for you!
Big celebrations deserve something special. We can make you something everyone can enjoy. We even do reveal cakes!
