Welcome to The Kake Blog!

Welcome to The Kake Blog!  My name is Katie, and I am the founder of Katie's Kakes.  Katie's Kakes is an online gluten-free bakery serving Manhattan, as well as Hudson, Morris, and Union Counties in New Jersey.  Our website can be found here: katieskakesnj.com. 

In August of 2009, I discovered that I was gluten-intolerant.  The news did serious damage to my sweet tooth.  I fed my passion for baking by continuing to create glutenous treats for my family and friends, but was never able to enjoy the dishes myself.  Finally, in spring of this year, I began to experiment with gluten-free baking.  There was a lot of trial and error and frustration, but more than anything I was so happy to have dessert officially back in my life.

Cut to the end of this summer, when I decided to launch the Katie's Kakes site!  The menu changes seasonally, with two permanent items (Ben's Breakfast Treat and Nannie's Toffee Bars).  I'm very excited to be starting this blog today, where I'll be posting 1-2 times a week about the business and living gluten-free.

I'm going to end today's post with our Winter Menu:
