The Bittersweet Bakery

The Bittersweet Bakery is anything but Bittersweet. To me a locally owned bakery that specializes in gluten free only products was something that we had to try. We talked about it for some time and when My wife got me a birthday cake from there I was very excited to try it. Dare I say that even non gluten free cakes have a hard time stacking up against the moist and fluffy flavor that was this cake. The frosting paired quite nicely. I want to see Cake Boss do gluten free like this!

For quite some time we had been debating what we were going to do for a cake for our wedding. We had already decided what we would do for food. (See soon to come post on Brasa in St. Paul) After this I was quite sure that I wanted this to be our wedding cake. Luckily CurlyGirl convinced me we needed to do a cake tasting before we decide. (Which was really just an excuse to try all of their cake types with all of their frosting types in one sitting.) Why did I even think about arguing the fact? This was a genius concept. (which had apparently been around for years – who knew?) I have to say that every combination of cake and frosting was great. How great you ask? Well, we decided to have a small cake for us and for cutting, then we went with cupcakes of all varieties for our guests to pick and choose for themselves. Our gluten free wedding reception was complete.

Even now I have this place marked on my GPS so that any time I am anywhere near the place I see it and make a detour to swing by and pick up something. A loaf of bread, a slice of carrot cake, a bunch of holiday cookies, some banana bread. It is fairly amazing. Not to mention the people there are always friendly and nice. I just wish they were closer to me… someone invest in this place so it can be franchised please!

Well, at least I know to keep my eyes open in other stores, because over 40 local shops, stores, and coffee houses carry bittersweet products.   Keep your eyes out too!
