Crave Bakery



Crave's Bakery Mission Statement for those with the Gluten-free and Casein-Free Diet: 

"At Crave, our mission is for our products to be so scrumptious that you'll forget your cravings for traditional baked goods made with wheat and butter!"


Another fabulous bakery makes its mark!  Yippie!

Born in San Fran, now a wholesaler who sells to many states in the U.S. including San Fran Bay area, Arkansas, California, Foothills, Central California, Central Coast, Greater Sacramento Area, Southern California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.  Too bad not NY.  But one day I am confident this brand will make its way east.

Their products look amazing.  They are beautifully crafted and from what I hear quite amazing.  I have to get my hands on these products in 

They have scrumptious brownies, beautiful cakes, cupcakes, delicate tarts and cookies!  There is nothing like an amazing Dark Chocolate or Toasted Pecan Brownie, each individually packaged or packaged as "mini's" in plastic tubs.  This is the Brownie that got the ball rolling at this bakery!  Crave made their mark with this fantastic packaged brownie.  Guess it goes to show not everything has to be wrapped with a pretty ribbon to taste gourmet.

Next are there square shaped Blondie cookies with huge chocolate chunks.  My mouth is watering writing this post.  I've got to get me some Crave!  

...and their cupcakes that I would seriously devour in a heartbeat.  The frosting so creamy compliments its spongy cake.  And there are 4 different options...so much to choose from!  You have the Confetti Cup cake, Chocolate cupcakes and Vanilla Cupcakes.


And for those who need GFCF cakes for multiple people there are always Crave's Cakes.  Crave's cake flavors consist of Mama Z's Chocolate Cake (served in restaurants in San Fran), 6" decorated cakes and 8" Sugar-Free Cheesecake!  YUM!!

Last but not least the Tarts.  I leave them for last, because these are really good.  And I don't even like tarts!  Between their four flavors you will find a love.  A favorite.  From their Lemon Tart, to Pumpkin to their 4" Apple Frangipane Tart and their 4" Apricot Frangipane.  Double, triple and fourple YUM!  If that is even a word.

And the BEST part!!?? These fantastic desserts are GLUTEN-FREE AND CASEIN FREE.  How much does that rock?

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com  

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
