Gluten-Free at Carefree Cakery

One of the key benefits of opening our shop in the Mill District is that we were able to design the floorplan. This means that we were able to add in an entirely separate kitchen space for storing GF ingredients and preparing GF treats! 

Did you know that we have two ovens, one of which is solely dedicated to GF baking? All of our gluten-free equipment was purchased brand new, so nothing has ever been in contact with gluten prior to arriving at the shop. That's also true for our GF oven! All of our smaller tools are also color-coded and stored separately to ensure that they're never used for traditional baking of any kind. 

Gluten-Free products typically require more notice because we abide by a very strict bake-schedule. Our GF oven is located in our main kitchen, which means we need to wait 24 hours between traditional and GF baking to allow airborne flour particles to settle. This further prevents cross-contact. 

While we have a dishwasher, we wash all of our GF dishes by hand to ensure that there's no cross-contact from lingering food particles in the dishwasher. Our only dish sink is located in the main kitchen, so it's always thoroughly cleaned prior to use.
