Southern California gluten-free Bakery - Sweet Addictions


Cherry Tart

Recommended Posts

Cherry Tart Apprentice

Hello All!

I've wrote last summer about my friend Annette who opened up Sweet Addictions bakery in Montclair, CA. She makes specialty gluten-free goodies and cakes (including Wedding cakes!). I just wanted to let you guys know that she will have a booth at the Celiac Conference in Los Angeles on May 3. Annette will bring a variety of goodies to taste and purchase! I shall be loitering at her booth, eating myself into a brownie coma :P

Hope to see you there! :)

Hi Hippiegirl!

Sweet Addictions opened up less than a year ago - it is in the northwest part of Montclair. Annette always has gluten free goodies on Thursdays. However, she makes gluten-free items per order throughout the week. Note, she does make regular wheat based baked goods too. She has taken great precautions to avoid cross contamination - she thoroughly wipes everything down between baking, stores the gluten-free and wheat supplies seperately, uses dedicated baking utensils/pans, and keeps the gluten-free items on seperate shelves in the display case. She has quite a few G.F. items offer: peanut butter or choc chip cookies, blondies, banana bread, cupcakes, mini cheesecakes, lemon bars, mini pecan pies, decorated birthday/wedding cakes (by order only), and frosted brownies (since the gluten-free brownies came out so great - she doesn't even serve gluten based ones - these are the only G.F. goodies available all week!). I suggest calling on Wed or Thurs AM to check availability and ask them to set some things aside for you - she usually sells out of the gluten-free goods before the end of the day. If interest grows, she will offer gluten-free items on other days. My favorites are the brownies and the chocolate cupcakes with caramel frosting! Here's her web address: Open Original Shared Link I know I sound like a cheesy commercial but, I want everyone to know about her wonderful bakery! :wub:

Hello, Thank you for all the information! I checked out the Sweet Addictions website, looks great. Nice to know I have options close by, looking forward to trying it.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
