My Gluten Free Bakery

There are only three gluten free bakeries in Missouri.  One in Kansas City, one in Chesterfield, and now one in Jefferson City.  LaVerne Frederick decided to open her baking business three months ago. Frederick suffers from Celiac Disease and so did her dad until he passed away last year in July. In his honor, Frederick decided to open the gluten free bakery.  Maintaining a gluten free diet is part of the treatment for Celiac Disease. She sent out newsletters and spoke with some support groups to see what response she would receive.  There was also an article about her bakery in the Fulton Sun, that is how I found out about her.  The response was tremendous and Frederick decided this was something she needed to do to serve her community.  She said, "I may not be making much money, but at least I'm making people happy." Isn't that the truth? Can you imagine being a child with a food allergy and unable to eat birthday cake? cookies? cupcakes? Mitzi Morris came into the bakery when I was visiting Frederick.  Morris was buying bread and cookies for her 20-year-old son who is in college and runs cross country.  She said that the team will go out and eat, but he is unable to do so because like Frederick, he suffers from Celiac Disease. It's wonderful Frederick is able to provide gluten free products for people like Mitzi's son.  Frederick usually uses a two to three day shipping so she can serve people outside of her community. There is a list of all the goodies she offers on her website.  http://myglutenfreebakery.com/
